Saudi Arabia Offers Virtual Medical Assistance To Syrian And Turkish Earthquake Survivors
Over the past weeks, Saudi Arabia has been providing virtual health assistance to earthquake survivors in Syria and Turkey. It is part of the international relief effort following the disaster. The Kingdom was at the front of the aid effort from the start. It sent planes with food, shelter, and emergency services like medical supplies. Through the combined efforts of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) and Seha Virtual Hospital (SVH), they are making progress in assisting survivors in Syria and Turkey.
Mohammed Al-Abdulali, a spokesman for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health, thanked the male and female experts in a wide range of fields who were treating people through the virtual hospital. He said that KSrelief runs and supports an air bridge that helps connect different areas that need help. All of which adds to the humanitarian work that Saudi Arabia is already doing. He added that the experts are helping colleagues from the SRCA in Turkey and Syria. He added that this group of doctors includes internists, pediatricians, cardiologists, dermatologists, infectious disease specialists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and ophthalmologists. He said they shared information and advice with their medical colleagues in the area via video conferencing.
