National

GENEVA, (ST)-Health Minister Nizar Yazigi has urged the World Health Organization (WHO) to spare no effort as to supply the health sector in Syria with quality, immunological and genetic medicine in addition to necessary vaccines as well as non-locally produced medicine for tumor and other chronic diseases patients.

Yazigi was speaking during his meeting on Saturday with the WHO Director General Margaret Chan at the UN headquarters in Geneva.

He called for providing the health sector in Syria with necessary medical equipments and their spare parts particularly in the light of the unjust unilateral economic siege imposed on the Syrian people and which targeted the health sector plus other services sectors in the country.

“The health institutions in Syria provide preventive, curative and emergency health care services for citizens in all Syrian areas despite the difficult circumstances and the attacks of the armed terrorist takfiri groups,” the minister said.

He added that the Health Ministry has spared no effort to maintain the stability of the health sector in Syria despite the challenges and threats that have been facing the health sector.

Yazigi pointed out that “no epidemics or pandemics have been reported during the last period and no new cases of polio have been emerged since nearly a year and a half.” 

He asserted that the ministry has given priority to the issue of delivering medical assistance to the health institutions in all areas.
