SHADDADI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 <\/strong>Maintenance workshops in Shaddadi Hospital, in Syria\u2019s south Hasakah countryside, have accomplished about 95% of the ongoing rehabilitation work in order to hand it over to the Health Board before it enters into service, according to supervisors of the project.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the only hospital in the city, and was violently destroyed during the battles that took place there to expel the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public hospital in Shaddadi consists of three blocks of buildings that ISIS seized and turned into its special military hospital in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance and rehabilitation works supervisor Muhammad Zaydo said, “The remaining works will be finished within a month.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told North Press that they would hand the hospital over to the Health Board in order to equip it with the necessary medical equipment and supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During ISIS\u2019 rule in 2016, a big part of the hospital was destroyed as a result of airstrikes and the theft of all medical equipment, according to officials in the Health Committee.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in 2020, the Health Board of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) revealed in press statements plans to rehabilitate Shaddadi Hospital<\/a> with an estimated budget of $4,000,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being the only public hospital in the southern countryside of the city, it would serve areas south of Hasakah and north of Deir ez-Zor, Health Committee member in Shaddadi Tareq al-Kere’i told North Press. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
