Qatar Charity (QC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) collaborated to implement eight projects in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Malawi, and Bangladesh between 2019 and 2021. Three projects have been completed, and five more are in the works in the areas of health, shelter, and water.
The recently completed projects in Yemen and Iraq helped to alleviate the daily suffering of crisis-affected communities.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM), in collaboration with Qatar Charity, is assisting Al Aroos Hospital in Ta’iz governorate’s Sabir Al Mawadim district.
This IOM-Qatar Charity project aims to provide basic emergency maternal, obstetric, and neonatal care to displaced people and the communities that house them. Since February 2021, nearly 2,200 women and children have benefited from maternal and neonatal care services at Al Aroos Hospital, which serves a population of approximately 50,000 people.
“Prior to this intervention, Al Aroos Hospital was no more than a small health center with a limited range of maternal and neonatal services,” said Doctor Fahd Sofi of the International Organization for Migration’s health team in Aden.
“Thanks to Qatar Charity’s support, the Hospital can now provide non-surgical emergency maternal and neonatal care, allowing the hospital to receive a wide range of maternal cases and provide care 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” he added.
“Women and children bear the brunt of Yemen’s crisis, so ensuring their access to health care is critical to their survival and the country’s eventual recovery,” said Ahmed Saad AlRumaihi, Qatar Charity’s Director of Emergency and Relief.
He also stated, “Qatar Charity is proud to partner with IOM to extend humanitarian support to improve the conditions of Yemeni displaced people, particularly in the health sector.”
Women can receive antenatal, delivery, and post-natal health care services, as well as consultation and treatment for gynecological conditions, through this project. The hospital also offers primary health care to children, including disease diagnosis and treatment, with the help of the International Organization for Migration.
With the help of the IOM and Qatar Charity, the hospital was able to overcome a staff shortage. An additional gynecology and obstetrician specialist, as well as seven midwives, is now available to see patients at all hours of the day.
Furthermore, with the assistance of Qatar Charity, IOM in Iraq recently assisted 18 families in rebuilding their destroyed homes in West Mosul. The project helped to support long-term solutions to displacement in Iraq by providing assistance to the most vulnerable families.
It is worth noting that projects implemented in Iraq in collaboration between Qatar Charity and IOM include supporting health and protection services in Nineveh, as well as increasing capacity to prevent and control the Covid-19 pandemic. In response to the water crisis in Al Qurnah, a project was also completed.
Qatar Charity is also implementing a multi-sector assistance project for people affected by the Syrian crisis, as well as strengthening the health system in Bangladesh to improve access to health care services for Rohingya refugees. It carried out a cyclone response project in Malawi.
