Between June and September 2019, Un Ponte Per, through the project "Provision of primary health care and emergency services to Iraqi refugees and IDPs in Al Hol camp", funded by the World Health Organization, initiated a new emergency response intervention in North East Syria, and more specifically in Al Hol camp. The intervention ensured continuous access to quality primary health care and emergency services for the refugee (especially Iraqi) and displaced populations living in Al Hol camp. The displaced population is the most vulnerable, especially childrenə, women and the elderlyə.
Specific services were provided for women and girls, thanks to the collaboration with the Kurdish Red Crescent (KRC), UPP's partner in the area since 2015.
The clinics and clinics in the camp have been equipped with a delivery room, with specialised staff available 24/7; an emergency room, for the treatment of people injured by mines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other remnants of war, with an area dedicated to stabilising patients; a testing laboratory for clinical tests; and four ambulances to direct more complicated cases to better-equipped health facilities in Hassakeh.
