Mar-Qardagh Church / Erbil

Summary:
Since the opening of the clinic at 13th October 2007, our doctors have received successive shipments that contained different kind of medications and other medical instruments. The project reached its mission in serving all patients and especially those with chronic illnesses by providing them with all what they need continuously on monthly bases.
The supplier party:
Doctor Noel Dominic, who is a member in our colony in Austria, has played a great role in making this project real and successful with his great effort. He personally prepares, sends and follows up such huge amounts of medications in coordination with Caritas Vienna and the Austrian Red Cross.
The medical staff:
Our medical staff that consists of about ten physicians and five pharmacists, who work in different field of specialties, take over all the tasks delegated to them in terms of receiving the shipments, sorting them out and distributing them to the patients who visit the clinic and to the governmental hospitals in the area, as well as other parties that are concerned about helping patients and distributing the medications to everyone who is in need, free of charge.
Mechanism of receiving and distributing the medications:
Doctor Noel Dominic collects tens of boxes and cartons of medications and medical instruments from different parties and charity places in Austria, he organize them in boxes and cartons and send them through the help of Caritas Vienna and Austrian Red Cross, he ship them from Vienna Airport to Erbil Airport at a cost of € 1200 for every 250 kg and as per the agreement with the airline that transports the shipment to Erbil Airport, thankfully.
In Erbil, our staff starts, with the supervision of The Pastor Fr. Rayan Paulos ATTO, to obtain the necessary approvals from the Ministry of Health in Erbil in order to take the shipment out of the Airport and bring it to our storehouse in Mar-Qardagh Church / Erbil.
The doctors then try to sort the medications out into categories and groups and distribute them as follows:
1. A large quantity is given to the patients who visit our clinic directly and continuously in a monthly manner, their number is now more than 500 patients.
2. Part of the shipments are dedicated to some of the major local hospital that are run by the government according to what we receive, some of these hospital are listed below:
· Nanakaly Hospital for Blood Diseases and Tumors – Erbil.
· Rizgary Teaching Hospital – Erbil.
· Erbil Teaching Hospital – Erbil.
· Maternity Hospital – Erbil.
· The charity mobile clinic, run by The Chaldean Assyriac Syriac People Assembly.
· Helen Hospital for handicapped children and psychiatric disorders – Erbil.
· The new Ankawa Health Center – Erbil.
· Other parties like:
. Dar Anya House in Baghdad that takes care of old as well as abandoned poor people.
. Group of youth who carry some sort of charity activities in Mosul Parish.
. The charity committee, run by Ankawa Youth Club in Ankawa.
. The charity clinic, run by Family Pensioners Clubhouse in Ankawa.
. The charity clinic, run by Shaqlawa Church.
. Pediatric Diabetes Society in Erbil.
. Akad Sport Club in Ankawa.
How to participate in the continuity of such project:
The establishment of this clinic has helped many people enormously and also helped us to broaden our mind on peoples' needs and such guide them in matters that concern their health and how to follow up their investigations, some of which we perform in our clinic and others are sent to specialist with whom we have already arranged the free checkups. Other patients who need some sophisticated investigations are subsidized as it might cost the patient a lot of money.
Therefore, every one, who have faith in this project and is willing to help us financially and morally, is deeply encouraged to contact Fr. Rayan Paolus ATTO in order for our devoted team to carry on… Fr. Rayan can be contacted at: fr.rayan@gmail.com
God bless you all…
