Wadi Barada’s Medics lead example for institutional revolutionary work


Translation by Yusra Ahmed

(Zaman Al Wasl)-  The medical body in Wadi Barada has tried hard to be a lead example of institutional work, as it is the main body providing medical service in Wadi Barada area and surrounding villages.

 “We have been working in these institutions for years which has given us great experience in dealing with different medical conditions and operations, besides securing medications” Dr. Hosam Rajab, Head of the Medical Body said. The medical body consists of many out-patient clinics, emergency rooms open 24/7. Dr, Rajab mentioned that about 3000 patients visit clinics monthly and they are treated by Physicians, nurses and other medical staff who are regularly trained to keep their skills updated. In regard to medication, Dr.

Rajab explains that they find difficulties in obtaining and securing medication and other medical equipments, sometimes they are forced to buy smuggled medicine from Lebanon to distribute them to people in Wadi Barada for free or discount prices.

“Sometimes we have to illegally transfer patients to Lebanon for treatment” Abo Mohammed al-Bardawi, director of the media centre in Wadi Barada mentions that services of the medical body are not restricted to people in the area only, as they admit patients and wounded from other areas.
