DOHA: The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has completed a multi-specialization surgical convoy in Northern State in Sudan, as part of its ongoing humanitarian initiative to support the affected communities.
QRCS said the medical delegation from Doha performed 250 pediatric, urology, and general surgeries, in coordination with the Federal Ministry of Health (MoH) and Dongola Specialized Hospital, highlighting that the medical convoy helped provide treatment for poor displaced and local patients, as well as relieve pressure on the health system in Northern State, where such surgeries are much needed, according to statements by the state’s MoH.
Director-General of Northern State MoH, Dr Satti Hassan Satti, stated that the health system is heavily in demand due to overpopulation, therefore, such free, high-quality medical services are crucial for vulnerable groups, emphasizing that the medical convoy represents invaluable support for the state.
Through its humanitarian organizations, Qatar plays an active role in providing health services for the people of Sudan, added Dr Satti, emphasizing that this surgical convoy represents one further step towards stronger collaboration between QRCS and Northern State’s MoH.
