| ADRA Provides Urgently Needed Medical Supplies for Iraq |
Silver Spring, Maryland -Health care professionals and patients in Tel Afar, Iraq will receive much needed medical supplies from the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) when a shipment arrives in a matter of weeks. With a grant received by ADRA Germany from the German government, pharmaceutical and medical supplies valued at $458,000 will be provided to Tel Afar Hospital. "Medical and pharmaceutical supplies have been limited at Tel Afar Hospital due to its remote location and the disruption of the distribution system since conflict began in Iraq earlier this year," said Frank Teeuwen, bureau chief for disaster preparedness and response for ADRA International. "ADRA is providing these supplies on a short-term basis until the distribution system in Iraq is able to service the Tel Afar region once again." The Tel Afar Hospital serves about 22,000 patients each month and also supports an outpatient clinic that serves 4,700 patients monthly. Additional funding for this project came from ADRA Germany and ADRA International. ADRA will purchase the supplies through its office in Turkey. ADRA is present in more than 120 countries providing individual and community development and disaster relief without regard to political or religious association, age or ethnicity.Additional information about ADRA can be found on its website at www.adra.org |
