The David Nott Foundation (DNF) along with Action For Humanity- International joined forces with UOSSM as they conducted a medical mission in Aqrabat Hospital in northwest Syria. For one week, the teams conducted the surgical training course - Hostile Environment Surgical Training (HEST) to 30 doctors. In addition to the training, the team saw 300 war wounded and earthquake wounded patients to provide help and support, and conducted 81 complicated surgeries. The HEST taught doctors more skills to handle injuries from attacks and natural disasters, and have some doctors become trainers as well. Elly Nott, CEO of DNF said, "They (AFH, DNF, UOSSM) are going to be helping over 300 patients who have come to this hospital this week. They started from a list of 2000. 2000 people came to this hospital last week requesting help and support and they had to get that list down to 300. That should give us all an idea of the scale of the challenge here and just how desperately health care is needed." She added, "In this region there are a number of incredibly innovative thoughtful healthcare organizations, and UOSSM is one of the oldest and one of the most distinguished of them all." We are so grateful for their support as we continue to help alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable in northwest Syria. . . . #UOSSM #NorthwestSyria #HEST #Training #Surgery #Medical #Humanitarian #AqrabatHospital #Hope
