The Ministry of Health received 16 new ambulances on Monday at its headquarters in Damascus, donated by the International Charity Organization in the United Arab Emirates to support emergency and ambulance services across the country.
Dr. Hussein Al-Khatib, the assistant health minister, said, in a statement to SANA, that Syria’s health sector continues to require support to strengthen services and expand coverage.
He expressed appreciation to the UAE government and its people for the contribution, noting that the new vehicles will immediately reinforce frontline response capacity.
Khaled Abdul Wahab Al Khaja, secretary-general of the International Charity Organization, said the donation reflects the organization’s humanitarian mission and the strong ties between the two countries. He added that the aid package includes the 16 ambulances, 50 dialysis machines to be allocated later, maintenance support for several hospitals, and the establishment of new health centers to assist the national healthcare system.
Dr. Najeeb Al-Naasan, director of emergency and ambulance services at the ministry, said the ambulances are expected to improve the ministry’s ability to respond to critical cases, especially in underserved areas. He explained that the vehicles will be distributed based on population density, available medical facilities, and existing service gaps, with the aim of saving lives and reducing mortality rates.
Founded in 1984, the International Charity Organization operates in 23 countries and implements a wide range of sustainable humanitarian projects, including health programs, water well initiatives, orphan sponsorships, medical treatment support, and community service programs.
