Emergency call center al-Hol Camp

Destination country/region: Northeast Syria, al-Hol Camp

Period: from March 2019

By setting up and financing an emergency call center (Operation Desk) together with our partner organization, the Kurdish Red Crescent, we were able to significantly improve coordination between medical facilities and with hospitals inside and outside the camp. As a result, patients are treated more quickly at the appropriate health center and their resources are used more effectively and efficiently.
