In January 2018, the WHO Country Office in Turkey launched the project “Supporting the employment of Syrian personnel in the Turkish health system”. In the past 2 years, 671 Syrian staff have been recruited in cooperation with Turkey’s Ministry of Health, and have completed all necessary training for the provision of home care.
The objective of the project is to further improve the service provided to Syrian refugees, by improving the quality of primary health care, and increasing staff capability, capacity and efficiency. Busra Alomairy and Fatma Haskilo are 2 of the team members who provide much-needed services to underserved and vulnerable refugee populations, such as the elderly and disabled, within the scope of the project.
