Amman – Sunday, 4 August 2024 – The Syria Recovery Trust Fund’s (SRTF’s) Management Committee (MC) approved a new Health intervention and a new Agriculture project in Northeast Syria and Northern Aleppo, respectively, today.

Building on the success of Phases I and II of the health intervention, “Comprehensive Support Initiative for Two Dialysis Units through Operational and Medical Assistance in Deir-ez-Zor Governorate”, whereby 9,186 dialysis sessions to 123 end-stage renal diseases (ESRD) patients were carried out, including 40% women and 7% internally displaced persons (IDPs), indirectly benefitting 605 household members, serving a catchment area of 229,140 individuals, the newly approved Phase III will bridge existing gaps and ensure that the two haemodialysis units are fully supported to provide high-quality health services by providing medical staff, operational costs, medications, consumables, and dialysis kits. With a budget of around EUR 0.55 million, this intervention is expected to provide 6,240 dialysis sessions during the 10-month project duration.
