QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 <\/strong>On Sunday, Civil Society Organizations opened the People’s Clinics Center in the city of Qamishli, northeast Syria, which includes nine different departments, in the presence of representatives of Civil Society Organizations and professional unions in northeast Syria. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The work on the medical clinics project lasted for six months with the contribution of civil society organizations,” Firas Tishi, director of People’s Clinics Center in Qamishli, told North Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The main goal of opening the center is to serve residents with limited income and provide them with quality medical care,” Tishi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The People’s Clinics Center is located at the intersection of al-Hamam Street and Ezra Market in the city of Qamishli.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center includes approximately 90 medical staff, including doctors, nurses, technicians, and administrative officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medical specialties in the clinics include pediatric, gynecological diseases, internal disease, neurological disorders, neurosurgery, orthopedics, urology and general surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinics also receive cases of hematology, pulmonology and gastroenterology, as well as dermatology and endocrinology, for two days a week, according to Tishi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Patient examinations will be at half the price, in addition to a 20% discount for x-rays and 50% for medical analyses in the laboratory,” Tishi added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pharmacy includes free medicines “provided by the Autonomous Administration and humanitarian organizations, as well as a 15% discount for the sold medicines,” according to the director of the People’s Clinics in Qamishli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laila Ibrahim, co-chair of the Union of Commerce Chambers in northeastern Syria, told North Press that civil society organizations have significantly contributed to establishing People’s Clinics to provide health services to the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are many future service and humanitarian projects, which Civil Society Organizations are working to launch during the coming period,” she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than twenty unions, organizations, and chambers work within civil society institutions in northeast Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Taz Pasha, from the Women’s Office of Civil Society Organizations in northeast Syria, indicated that “the main goal of establishing People’s Clinics is to achieve self-sufficiency, in addition to helping the residents of the region in terms of health, especially with the high prices and the collapse of the value of the Syrian pound.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
