Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) is set to deploy a multispecialty surgical convoy to Sudan in order to treat 100 poor patients in Al-Hasahisa, a city of Al-Jazirah.
The team will cover the specialisations of general surgery, urology, orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynaecology, and paediatrics.
The mission seeks to alleviate the suffering of patients, the poor in particular, in the city of Al-Hasahisa and neighbouring villages. It will also make a list of the locals who need surgical intervention, to be included in future medical convoys, in a manner that protects their health and dignity.
Another aspect of the project is to support the city’s teaching hospital with medical equipment and consumables, enabling it to provide health and surgical services. The medical staff will receive in-service training to enhance their performance.
In addition to the 100 patients to be operated on, there are 500 indirect beneficiaries from the families of the patients as well as the region’s population, who will benefit from the provided medical supplies.
The medical team comprises consultants and surgeons from Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC).
Dr Khaled Alam al Huda, coordinator of Medical Convoy Program at QRCS, said the city received healthcare seekers from many surrounding villages. This put overpressure on the hospital, which lacks adequate resources to deal with the large numbers of visitors.
“Moreover, the local community is generally poor, and many patients cannot afford the costs of surgeries and other treatment. That is why this medical convoy is vital to giving them a spark of hope that their pain will come to an end,” he added.
Dr Alam al Huda praised the donations of benevolent Qataris as key to the success of this medical convoy. The continuity of QRCS’ Medical Convoy Program, he asserted, required more and more giving, to reach out to as many needy patients as possible.
