Orshina Sameer, Administrator at the Free Medical Clinic:

Hello, I’m Orshina Sameer and I work as an administrator at the medical clinic. The clinic opened its doors to people from all segments of this community about seven to eight years ago. We offer free consultations in many specialties, including internal medicine, neurology, urology, general surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. We also have a medical laboratory and a department for distributing free medications for chronic diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, high blood pressure, and many others. We are still continuing to provide services to all members of the community, including all religious groups in Qamishli and the surrounding rural areas. We wouldn’t be able to continue this work without the support of our partners, who have consistently supported us. We continue to give as much as possible and serve the largest possible segment of this community. We extend our sincere thanks to the supporting organizations that have enabled us to continue serving the community and serving people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Thank you very much.
