A humanitarian call… The lives of kidney patients in Qamishlo city are in real danger

ARK News… A Kurdish academic revealed that kidney patients in the city of Qamishlo buy the requirements of their own session, "kidney dialysis" at their personal expense, each session costs them between (45-90) thousand Syrian pounds, and most patients need more than 10 sessions per month.

The Kurdish academic, Dr. Farid Saadoun, published an appeal on his personal page on the social networking site Facebook, in which he said, "Kidney patients who wash their kidneys in the National Hospital in Qamishlo buy hoses at their expense and it costs them 45 thousand each session, and if a filter with a hose is 90 thousand, knowing that most of them require two sessions per week, and some of them have 3 sessions per week, i.e. 12 sessions per month, and each session requires a new filter and hose.”

He also said: "One of the benefactors who gave them medicine a year ago bought hundreds of hoses for them, but it was concluded because the number of patients is more than 100 and the issue is long and permanent and individual initiatives ease, but will not solve the problem."

The appeal concluded by saying, "Frankly, the lives of kidney patients are in danger, and most of them are poor, and they cannot work and cannot buy hoses."
