Amman – Monday, 16 May 2022 – The SRTF is pleased to announce the recent approval of the fifth phase of its health intervention: “Supporting Health Services in Ar-Raqqa Governorate”. This intervention builds on the accomplishments of four previous health interventions that aim to sustain and improve comprehensive health care to the targeted communities in Ar-Raqqa and have served more than 364,000 beneficiaries during the project duration.

In addition to the aforementioned, the clinics will offer psychosocial support services, a laboratory and pharmacy department as well malnutrition screening services for children and women. Additionally, health awareness and health education campaigns will be carried out in addition to  24/7ambulance services ready at each PHCC.

The second main activity under this intervention is supporting a Covid-19 ward at one hospital in Ar-Raqqa that includes an in-patient department for Covid-19 treatment with a10-bed capacity, and a Covid-19 ICU section with a 10-bed capacity equipped with ventilators, as well as, a department of radiology, laboratory, and pharmacy that provides all medicines and consumables free of charge.
