A medical campaign organised by the Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif Agency enabled nearly 150 residents of Al-Sawahra and Cheikh Saad to receive consultations, tests and medicines. Teams detected cases of diabetes and provided internal medicine and paediatric care, according to MAP.
Nearly 150 residents of the villages of Al-Sawahra and Cheikh Saad, south of the Al-Qods governorate, received free consultations and medical services during a campaign organised by the Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif Agency with the support of Moroccan medical group Akdital and Astra Lab laboratories, MAP reports. Teams provided internal medicine and paediatric consultations, laboratory tests and the distribution of medicines, particularly to elderly people and children with chronic diseases, according to Dr Baha Al Jabri, director of Astra Lab in Bethlehem.
The examinations detected cases of diabetes and identified patients requiring treatment or medical follow-up. Dr Baha Al Jabri stressed the importance of regular consultations for early detection and reassessment of treatments, while considering it necessary to deploy mobile clinics in areas far from urban centres because of insufficient health services and financial difficulties limiting access to care. Mohamed Moussa Allam, a member of the administrative committee of the Cheikh Saad club, also stressed the importance of these campaigns for residents.
