RAQQA: The Syrian Arab Republic’s Health Minister Musab Al-Ali has said that more than $10 million has been allocated to develop the sector in Raqqa, with rehabilitation work at the local hospital to begin this month.
During a meeting with doctors and administrators at the Raqqa Health Directorate, Al-Ali reviewed the state of services and the needs of medical facilities in the province.
In a statement recently, Al-Ali said rehabilitation of the hospital would begin in August, while its operational departments continue providing services. He noted that the cost could exceed $10 million depending on the findings of technical studies.
The ministry’s plan includes developing primary healthcare centers, rehabilitating hospitals in Tabqa and Tal Abyad, and adding Maadan Hospital.
The plan covers upgrading emergency services, establishing a blood bank and opening a chemotherapy department, with oncology services to be expanded at a later stage.
