The operation aims to ensure the availability of human resources, medical equipment and logistical means within the health centers in the concerned regions, while receiving the 523 beneficiaries, in addition to scheduling 3,528 field visits by mobile medical units, 183 specialized medical convoys, and mini campaigns according to health needs in the regions of the region.
A coordination mechanism between mobile medical units, specialized convoys, field campaigns, and the emergency care system will be put in place to ensure that health interventions are carried out according to the set priorities.
