Supporting dialysis sessions  PHC and secondary HC services for the most vulnerable social groups in Aleppo and its countryside (priority2) Severe disrupted essential health services are: PHC, community care, hospital inpatient services, and care for elderly....
And In conjunction with this difficult economic crisis, the country is still living in a poor living, high prices, and this requires a special response for the most vulnerable groups such as (the elderly, women, people with special needs, and returnees...), especially in the countryside of Aleppo.

This project aims to make completion in the medical services for patients in the targeted areas, through:
     * Increase access to life saving and life sustaining health services for those most vulnerable and in need.
     * Strength the health sector in Aleppo and its countryside by providing primary and secondary health care services.
     * Increasing the access of health services to hard-to-reach areas through mobile clinic, in coordination with DoH amp Health Sector.
     * Strengthen health system capacity to support continuity of care, strengthen community resilience, and respond to IDP movements and changes in context.  

The medical services will be provided to about (18000) beneficiaries (in Aleppo and its countryside), these services are:
     1- Establishing a small dialysis center in Deir Hafer to provide dialysis sessions to the eastern regions (including Maskanah, Khafsa, Deir Hafer and its environs).
     2- Integration of the health services in the region by providing consultations and other PHC services through one mobile clinic that were previously equipped by funding of SHF includes four medical specialties: Internal, Gynecological, Pediatric, and General (Orthopedic, Otologist, or ophthalmologist...etc), and the clinic includes the following equipment: Portable Echography, Portable ECG, Portable X-Ray device.
         They travel to many areas on a daily basis
          In addition to having a highly qualified medical staff to deal with patients, and has previous experience working within mobile medical teams.
          This equipped mobile clinic will give us a reducing the movement of beneficiaries between the countryside and the city, thus enhancing the role of social distancing to reduce the Covid-19 pandemic.
     3- To complement the above, we will provide the rest of the PHC services with secondary health care  from the areas of Deir Hafer and Jabal Semaan and Maskana to medical centers and hospitals in Aleppo through the referral system.
     4- Also psychological support sessions and health awareness will be provided to beneficiaries.
     5- Home Care for patient (Such as burn patients, bandages, bed sores, and infusion of serums, especially for those who can’t reach the medical centers, such as: patients with trauma - people with movement disabilities - the elderly).

Also the areas were carefully selected according to:
     1- Annex 3_SHF_SA2022_ Priority 
     2- intersector-analysis-Prioritized Geographic Locations.
     3- feedback of AAP surveys, and in coordination with Health Sector and DoH who explained that health services in these areas are insufficient and these areas urgently need the medical services (especially radiography and lab tests) noting that there are some health centers in those areas, but they provide only vaccination services for children.

As for the criteria used in selecting the areas were based on the priorities of DoH in terms of the areas most in need of providing medical services according to the following:
     * Lack of hospitals 
     * Lack of pharmacies in the targeted areas.
     * Lack of sufficiently specialized medical clinics.
