Director of Deir Ezzor Health, Dr. Youssef Sattam, confirmed that health actual situation in Deir Ezzor Governorate was tragic and catastrophic during the period of control of the SDF, noting that the health sector was subjected to great neglect and widespread destruction that affected most hospitals and medical centers.
Dr. Sattam explained that the hospitals in the governorate lacked the most basic quality standards, and were providing limited and simple medical services, as a result of the comprehensive destruction that befell the health infrastructure during that period, which had a negative impact on the level of health care provided to the people.
The Director of Health explained that the people have long suffered from the neglect of government hospitals and their conversion into facilities that provide first aid services only, without providing the necessary qualitative and specialized medical services.
He pointed out that the Health Directorate has developed an integrated plan to rehabilitate and restore hospitals and health centers in the governorate, in addition to an emergency plan for the newly liberated areas, aiming to secure basic and quality health services, and gradually improve the condition of health care to meet the needs of the population.
