A Syrian health organization on Thursday has mourned doctor Mohamed Al-Youssef who died from coronavirus in Turkish hospitals.
The SAMS medical relief organization laments the loss of Al-Youssef, 36, who worked with them in the opposotion-held areas in northern Syria as a director of the medication project for kidney transplant patients and dialysis centers for more than five years in Idlib.
Al-Youssef was known in his village as “Doctor of the Poor” because of his reputation for treating most of his poorer patients and distributing medication brought from Turkey free of charge.
The doctor suffered from a kidney disease and had had a kidney transplant previously.
The Civil Defense reported that its specialized teams transported the bodies of seven people during the past 24 hours in northwestern Syria and buried the infected with Coronavirus in different areas of the countryside of Idlib and Aleppo.
The Epidemiological Surveillance Laboratories in northern Syria recorded 137 new cases on Wednesday, bringing the total number of infections to 19,086, with 276 deaths and 9,512 recovered.
