Foreword :

This overview of the Palestine Red Crescent Society-Syria ( PRCS-Syria ) reflects the accomplishments achieved, and the major leading activities undertaken by the society branch during the last few years.

The 1998 overview of the PRCS-Syria ended with five years of action that incorporated both the infrastructures of the health and strengthening the quality of the various socio-health activities provided to our people in Syria.

However, the last five years were not also much of easy years for PRCS-Syria to pass through. A number of projects have been delayed due to various reasons such as political instability and diminishing material resources.

Yet the successes outlined in here could not have been achieved without the generous contributions of the local and international friends, partners, employees and volunteers.

An Overview of the PRCS-Syria

2003

The Palestine Red Crescent Society ( PRCS ) is a humanitarian society established in December 1968 by the Palestinian National Council ( PNC ) in response to the medico-social needs of the displaced in , Syria, , Egypt, … etc. Since its establishment it was mandated by the PNC to provide a wide range of health, social, cultural and other humanitarian services to the Palestinian people in occupied Palestine and Diaspora countries.

The decision-making bodies of PRCS are : · The Congress, which is responsible for planning and policy making. · The Administrative Council, which is responsible for following up the adapted plans and can play the role of the Congress in case the Congress is not capable of convening meetings. · The Executive Committee, which is responsible for the implementation of plans activities that are carried out by the PRCS branches and departments.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society provides its services through its branches and facilities. The PRCS directly operates and manages its hospitals, primary health care centers, dental units, rehabilitation centers and emergency medical services.

There are 17 PRCS branches and 8 sub-branches in Palestine. In addition to these, the PRCS has branches in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Iraq.

§ The PRCS branch in Syria headquarter is located at in Damascus city, the capital. § Dr Azmi El-Jashi Secretary General and executive committee and heading the PRCS/Syria since 1983. § PRCS, MOH/Syria and UNRWA all shares in providing health care for the Palestinian refugees in Syria. UNRWA is only responsible for Palestinian refugees registered according to its definition since 1948, their number as of June 2001 was 391,651 . UNRWA has only primary health care medical centers activities and contracted with some private and PRCS hospitals.

The PRCS-Syria is running its own primary health care medical centers and hospitals providing socio-medical care for all Palestinian refugees registered by UNRWA as well as non-registered, in addition to other Palestinians arrived at Syria as a result of Arab-Israeli wars in 1967, 1973 and 1982. Also it is quite known that about 30-40% of the patients attending the PRCS socio-medical centers and hospitals are poor Syrians.

According to Syrian statistics the total number of Palestinians living on the Syrian land is about 466,060 .

Palestine refugees registered with UNRWA in the Syrian Arab Republic ( as of 30 June 2001 ) are distributed as it follows :

In camps Not in camps Total 109,466 282,185 391,651

7 Primary Health Care Centers ( PHC ):

PRCS/Syria together with UNRWA are the major PHC provider to Palestinian population living in Syria. The eight PRCS primary health care centers and the three outpatients clinics of Jafa, Bissan and Palestine Hospitals provide basic public health services and family planning. Specialized medical services are rendered at Dier Yassin polyclinic. Al-Karmel polyclinic is composed of five dental clinics. The following table demonstrates the existing PHC services provided by the PRCS in Syria.

The three general and surgical hospitals perform surgeries and provide curative services in all specialties except open-heart surgeries. The total capacity today is 135 beds serving most of the refugee camps and the surrounding poor Syrians.

A development plans are being implemented in SHC in incorporation infrastructures, human resources and quality improvement of service. A comprehensive renovation plan has been launched since 1994 to renovate and upgrade Jafa, Palestine and Bissan hospitals. Accordingly, the number of beds increased to 135 . Utilization indicators increased despite reconstruction activities resulting in closing of some sections activities for some considerable periods here and there.

Central Medical Laboratory :

Occupy the fourth floor of Jafa hospital building, well equipped with modern machines and instruments, providing all laboratory and histopathology activities.

Emergency Center :

It was a small primitive laboratory manufacturing some simple medical products. i.e.: simple Syrups, Solutions and Ointments for external use in PRCS/Syria medical centers and hospitals, and not for sale. The factory is in Damascus ( Mazeh ). By the end of 2002 the factory will become well equipped with new modern machines suitable for starting production of medical drugs under technical and healthy environmental control. Efforts still running on to start the job of our meni drug factory as it should be.

Service Development And Quality Improvement

13

Service Development And Quality Improvement

With the continuous aim in mind to improve the service quality, accessibility and effectiveness, many practical measures were initiated among most of our medical centers in Syria.

Renovation of buildings, procurement of instruments, equipment and medication by the internal local effort, together with the assistance from IFRC, ICRC, MAP ( United Kingdom ) and other international organizations in the health field, resulted in considerable increase in the number of beneficiaries, incomes, and service quality. To match the development of these efforts, some technical and managerial training courses were conducted to enhance the professional skills of the stuff in some of the activity fields.

The following pages give an overview about the condition of the P.R.C.S./Syria hospitals in the near past, the present and the future prospective aims expected to be achieved through both the continuous effort of our cadre and the help and support suspected from our abroad donors and friends.

14 1. Jafa Hospital:

It was the first hospital to be established by P.R.C.S. in Syria in 1971 with 60 beds capacity in a complex of two blocks of flats in Damascus ( Meza ). The hospital as a building and equipment became very old and primitive with time.

In 1997 a five years plan of upgrading concerning the hospital was established. And during 1998 a first stage reconstruction plan for the ground floor of the hospital building came out with a 25 beds capacity associated with furniture renovation and Central Oxygen and Nitrous gases net covering most of the hospital sites depending on our local financial resources.

After that local efforts are still running on to replace the old instruments and equipment gradually.

In May 2000 ECHO 3 project helped us in establishing a well equipped modern central medical laboratory in the fourth floor in Jafa Hospital ( through MAP – United Kingdom ).

In May 2001 a second stage reconstruction plan came out with the second floor renovation to be :

a. Gynecology and obstetric division that raised the hospital capacity to 30 beds. b. Out patient clinics serving all specialties and a dental clinic.

Nowadays a third stage reconstruction plan is running on for the third floor to add 10 beds more to the Jafa hospital increasing its capacity to 35 beds instead of 25 beds.

Table ( 3 ) shows how much the upgrading affected the hospital activity during the last five years.

Future Prospective:

1) The third stage of reconstruction for the third floor to increase the hospital capacity into 35 beds.

2) Renovation and procurement of instruments and equipment according to the following priorities :

A. ICU room with two beds capacity equipped by : · 2 Ventilators. · 2 monitors. · 1 Defibrillator. · 2 pulse oxymeters. · 2 suction machines. · 1 ECG machine.

16

B. The following machines: · X-ray machine. · 1 Echo dopplar. · 1 C-arm X-ray machine. · 1 Baby incubator.

C. Operating room equipment and instruments renovation including: · 2 Anesthesia machines. · 1 Operating table. · 2 Monitors. · 2 Defibrillators.

D. Kitchen and laundry equipment upgrading.

17 2. Bissan Hospital:

Bissan hospital functioned since 1982 with a less than minimum equipment and instruments recommended until the beginning of 1997 when a long unlimited upgrading plan started by reconstruction and renovation of the entire hospital.

The first stage consisted of reconstruction of the third floor of the building that took part during the year 1997.

In 1998 the second stage of reconstruction started for both ground and fourth floors of the hospital and completed by the end of the same year.

The third stage for the second floor reconstruction started in 2000 and came out with : · A new surgery theatre with three operating rooms. · ICU Division. · Baby Incubators Division. · Central Oxygen and Nitrous gases net covering most of the hospital sites. · Conversion of patients halls into single patient rooms.

During these three stages some renovation of the equipment and instruments took place through internal local efforts together with the assistance of ECHO – 1988 project – IFRC, and MAP – United kingdom 2000 financed by the British Embassy in Damascus.

One more project for 2001 was applied to ECHO by IFRC concerning upgrading in the fields of Emerging rooms, laboratory, X-ray development and renovation of some surgical instruments, but with great sorrow no sign of approval until today.

By January 2002 UNRWA signed a contract with the PRCS/Syria to occupy 3 beds in Bissan hospital for its patients.

18

Table ( 4 ) shows the effect of this long reconstruction , renovation and procurement of instruments and equipment on the quantity and quality of services attended to the beneficiaries, although 1-2 floors of the hospital building was closed for several months due to the reconstructive works in the last five years.
