Fifteen intensive care ventilators arrive in Qamishlo

Fifteen devices, developed and manufactured by Medec International (made in Belgium), for intensive care ventilation therapy for Covid 19 patients arrived in Qamishlo this week. The devices were financed with 345,000 euros collected by the “100 ventilators for Rojava” campaign and shipped from the Italian location of the Kurdish Red Crescent Organization Heyva Sor a Kurdistanê to northeast Syria. According to the responsible, the machines will now be distributed to hospitals in the region as required.

In the corona crisis, ventilators are considered essential for the treatment of patients seriously ill with Covid-19. But it is precisely these machines that are most lacking in North and East Syria.
