ACTIVITIES MdM, in partnership with SARC, is developing a programme to improve access to healthcare for the rural population by supporting clinics in Alep governorate. Equipment, medicines and training for healthcare workers were provided. MdM is promoting the opening of cardiology and ear, nose and throat (ENT) consultations and dental clinics. In addition, women’s groups are trained in sexual and reproductive health as well as in mother and child health.
RESULTS Around 3,500 patients per month attend the health centres (a figure which is increasing since the collaboration with SARC).
OUTLOOK In 2010, MdM would like to strengthen its work in health centres. Prevention and health education are essential, particularly among people under 25 years old (more than half of the country’s population). SARC, encouraged by the results of this partnership, wants to continue to open health centres in other parts of the governorate.
