Syria Relief and Development (SRD) is 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
incorporated in 2011 to provide humanitarian aid to Syrians and Syrian refugees
affected by violence, hunger, poverty, injury and displacement.
The volatile situation in Syria has created a dire need for food, shelter and medical supplies.
SRD is working to address these needs through its established programs within Syria and in surrounding regions.
To provide medical care for injured Syrian refugees,
Syria Relief and Development established a medical wing inside Akilah Hospital in Amman, Jordan on July 1st, 2012.
Through the Syrian Refugee Health & Trauma Program,
SRD provides essential medical treatments to injured Syrian refugees
who are unable to obtain care within Syria, or are unable to afford treatment.
The medical wing consists of physicians, nurses and other medical personnel, with specialties including primary care,
orthopedics, ENT, labor and delivery, pediatrics, urology and cardiology.
The services patients recieve include surgeries, lab testing, X-ray imaging and outpatient care.
Since first opening its doors, the medical wing has treated more than 20 thousand patients,
conducted more than 1700 major surgeries,
and provided more than 1.2 million dollars in medical care to Syrian refugees - all free of charge.
The medical wing continues to be a source of hope for refugees who are seeking quality care, but cannot otherwise afford it.
