Objective:
To perform a rare and highly specialized surgical procedure—separating conjoined twins—in one of the first operations of its kind in Syria and Rojava. The intervention involved pediatric surgeons, general surgeons, and consultants from Rojava University. The project reflects the commitment to advancing complex medical care in the region despite limited resources.

Project Objective:
To provide targeted health education for both the general public and healthcare professionals on the safe and effective use of medications during the month of Ramadan. The initiative considered the unique challenges posed by prolonged fasting hours and sought to improve medication adherence and patient safety through culturally sensitive outreach in Amuda and its surrounding areas, including through digital platforms.
Project Summary:
The DR-FRIEND project was implemented over the course of one month and focused on adapting medication practices to the fasting schedules observed during Ramadan. Recognizing the need for specific guidance during this period, the project aimed to prevent misuse of medication and potential complications arising from altered dosing times.
A series of daily educational sessions were conducted by a team of healthcare professionals, including general practitioners, pharmacists, and dentists. These sessions addressed key topics such as:
Adjusting medication schedules for chronic and acute conditions
Managing side effects related to timing changes
Safe use of over-the-counter and prescription drugs during fasting hours
The project reached wide segments of the population in Amuda and nearby rural communities. A strategic partnership with Arta FM, a local radio station, allowed for the broadcasting of a dedicated daily health segment throughout the month. Additionally, a complementary awareness campaign was launched across social media platforms to extend outreach to digitally connected audiences.
This intervention is part of the Rojava Doctors’ Union’s broader commitment to community health education and the promotion of safe medical practices that respect local religious and social contexts. By aligning medical guidance with cultural practices, the Union continues to advocate for patient-centered care that upholds both health and dignity.

Objective:
To respond to the urgent health and humanitarian needs resulting from the military offensive carried out by Turkish-backed factions of the Syrian National Army against civilians in the Shahba region. The assault triggered a large-scale displacement of more than 120,000 civilians—primarily former residents of Afrin who had previously fled the Turkish military operation in 2018.

Activity Report:
Amid the harsh conditions of war in Shahba and the rural outskirts of Aleppo, tens of thousands of civilians—mostly women, children, and the elderly—were forcibly displaced. In response to this humanitarian emergency, the Rojava Doctors’ Union launched a targeted medical intervention aimed at alleviating the suffering of the displaced population.
Several health points were established across Qamishlo, staffed by general practitioners and specialists, in coordination with the Pharmacists’ Union.
Support provided included:
Provision of essential medications and medical supplies.
Equipping medical points with diagnostic and monitoring tools.
Offering free medical consultations and services to all internally displaced individuals.
