Nursing Students at Qatar Charity
The nursing school, which was recently inaugurated by Qatar Charity in Tell Abyad, a town in northern Syria, continues training medical cadres to contribute to providing health services in the affected areas.
The nursing school, which is the first of its kind in northeastern Syria, seeks to contribute to increasing the number of effective medical staff and providing the health sector, which suffers from an acute shortage of human resources, with trained medical cadres capable of dealing with exceptional circumstances.
The school offers nursing education, under the supervision of specialists and experts, and 90 students are expected to be annually graduated from the school.
The students of the school study a particular curriculum for a year, and for another year, they work at health centers and hospitals under the direct supervision of the Turkish health authorities to hone their practical skills. After graduation, the students will receive certificates recognized and certified by the Turkish Ministry of Education to enable them to work in the medical sector.
“The general health situation in the region faces many difficulties and challenges,” said Dr. Mehmet Abdulkadir, head of the Syria Task Force at the Sanliurfa Provincial Health Directorate, adding that there are only 12 midwives and the number of doctors at is insufficient, which necessitated the establishment of this school. He added that the graduates of this vocational school will have the opportunity to meet the health needs of Tell Abyad
The students expressed their delight with studying at the school project. Fida Al-Ahmad, a student, said that due to the poor health situation of the area, she joined the nursing school, adding that her ambition is to contribute to improving the health condition of the area.
It is worth noting that Qatar Charity, through these qualitative projects, seeks to help people, bring better opportunities for them, and improve the standard of their living by training them, in addition to supporting the local health sector with qualified cadres.
