Improved access for patients with kidney diseases to lifesaving and sustainable health services in the northwest Syria. This project aims at addressing the health needs of host communities and IDPs, and contributing to saving lives in Idleb governorate, given the deteriorated health services in the area that is densely populated with IDPs from all over the Northwest Syria (NWS), especially after the recent mass exodus that made northwest of Syria more dense with IDPs. The project will focus on continuing and expanding the services of non-communicable diseases (particularly dialysis services) and will comprise of three components: 

a)	Supporting Qah dialysis center in Qah community (Dana district, Idleb governorate) existing in Al-Hidaya Specialist Hospital (HF-Code: G0703077) with running costs and dialysis kits for 7 months. This dialysis center has 10 devices/machines and serves 82 beneficiaries/ renal failure patients all of them are IDPs (Boys:3, Girls: 1, Women: 41, Men: 37)  with 820 sessions on monthly basis.This component also includes relocating the Atareb dialysis center (HF-Code: B0200181) to Qah dialysis center due to the deteriorated security situation in Atareb to address the gaps and overload in Qah center after a huge increase in the registered new displaced patients. Atareb center already has 5 devices/machines.This relocation will increase the Qah center's capacity by adding these dialysis machines and also moving the technicians making the center able to serve 98 patients and more, and this will reduce the load on the existing equipment especially in light of the increased population in Qah area. The proposed project will support the expanded Qah dialysis center, and will provide dialysis kits to support the additional patients. The relocated staff (from Atareb center) will be supported from Shafak's other funds. 

b)	Distribution of needed dialysis kits adequate for 3 to 7 months, to serve 360 renal failure beneficiaries with 16,840 dialysis sessions. Quantity and duration of support per each facility will be based on the needs per each facility and their current gaps, WHO's kits distribution that took place during 2019 to cover the needs of the dialysis centers up to February 2020, and the expected new kits distribution for the coming period. This component will be also considering the relocation and merging of dialysis centers. The following dialysis centers will receive dialysis kits:

      - Ibin Sina Center, Idleb sub-district. 7 Months the center serves 151 patients (Boys:1, Girls: 3, Women: 87, Men: 60)  with 1,510 sessions on monthly basis.

      - Bab Al-hawa Center, Dana sub-district. 3 Months the center serves 61 patients (Boys:1, Girls: 2, Women: 24, Men: 34)  with 610 sessions on monthly basis.

      - Armanaz Center, Armanz sub-district. 3 Months the center serves 22 patients  (Women: 7, Men: 15)  with 220 sessions on monthly basis. This center is supported by HIHFAD and was 
        relocated from Kafr Nobol. 

      - Darkoush Center, Darkoush sub-district. 3 Months the center serves 48 patients (Boys:1, Women: 18, Men: 29)  with 480 sessions on monthly basis.

      - Daret Azza Center, Daret Azza sub-district. 3 Months the center serves 78 patients (Boys:1, Girls:2 Women: 34, Men: 41)  with 780 sessions on monthly basis.

The proposed centers that will receive these dialysis kits have been chosen based on a needs assessment and after the discussion with the Dialysis Task Force, and the Health Directorates. 

By achieving the above components, Shafak aims at comprehensively contributing to covering the dialysis services gaps in  Aleppo (Daret Azza sub-district) and Idleb governorates (Idleb, Harim. Armanaz and Dana sub-districts).
