DOHA: Experts at Sidra Medicine often collaborate with international and local charitable organisations to provide specialist paediatric humanitarian care in countries facing critical needs.

Their dedicated missions not only bring specialised medical expertise to underserved communities but also foster a spirit of compassion and support that go beyond borders.

During a crisis, a lot of places are cut off from the world and are in urgent need of help. Local and global charitable organisations are sometimes the only resources to connect victims, families, the injured and refugees to get life saving food, medical supplies and care.

In its annual report, Sidra Medicine, a member of Qatar Foundation, has highlighted and lauded the experts who were part of such humanitarian care provided in countries such as Syria, Bangladesh, Jordan and Mauritania. During such missions, Sidra Medicine experts have performed life saving surgeries on children with different conditions.

The Peninsula spoke with Dr. Mansour Ali, Chair of the Department of Surgery at Sidra Medicine, who has partnered with Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) on several missions, notably visiting Bangladesh, Sudan and Syria to perform specialist paediatric surgeries.
