The special project providing blue-and-white medical care to Syrian children
Israeli doctors are providing medical treatments to dozens of Syrian children, including those injured in the massacre in Sweida. The project of the 'Nathan Worldwide Assistance' organization and the Alyn Hospital in Jerusalem includes remote treatment and bringing children for surgeries in Israel. So far, 15 children have been treated, and another 15 are in the process.
In recent months, Israeli doctors have been providing medical treatments to dozens of Syrian children in need, including those severely injured in the massacre of the Druze population in Sweida last year. This was reported this morning on the program 'This Morning' on Kan News. One of the children is Amer, aged 10, who was injured in the massacre. Amer's treatment is part of a project by the 'Nathan Worldwide Assistance' organization and the Alyn Rehabilitation Hospital for Children in Jerusalem, in collaboration with the Syrian hospital in Sweida. The Syrian hospital identifies the children, and Israeli doctors provide treatment using telemedicine technologies. Some children, like Amer, have come to Israel for surgeries. In recent months, 15 Syrian children have been treated, and another 15 are in the process of acceptance. Alice Miller, CEO of the Nathan organization, told about an 8-year-old disabled girl who lived without a bladder, whose life was saved by doctors using special equipment. Dr. Sharon Shaul described how they created a new brace for her legs and brought her to function. This involves dozens of volunteers from Alyn Hospital and the Nathan organization: doctors, occupational therapists, engineers. The cost of treatment for each child is about $1,000, funded by donations from abroad and Israel.
