Provide Urgent Medical Attention To Syrians

Dear Supporter,

We would like to share with you a powerful example of the impact your generosity continues to make in SEMA-supported hospitals.

Recently, our surgical team in Idlib treated a patient suffering from a large, deeply-seated thyroid mass—a condition medically known as a substernal (retrosternal) goiter. The gland had enlarged so dramatically that it was pressing on her airway and surrounding structures, causing:

• Severe shortness of breath

• Hoarseness of voice

• Difficulty swallowing

• Noticeable weight loss

• And a dangerous extension of the mass from the neck down into the upper chest

This was not a simple case.
It was a complex and high-risk condition that required advanced surgical skills, precise planning, and immediate intervention to prevent life-threatening complications.

Thanks to your support, our team was able to perform a complete thyroidectomy safely and successfully. The surgery relieved the pressure on her airway, restored her ability to breathe and swallow comfortably, and prevented the mass from causing permanent damage.

Today, the patient has been discharged in good health, able to speak and breathe without the fear and struggle that once defined her daily life.

This transformation was only possible because people like you choose to stand with vulnerable patients who have nowhere else to turn. Your contribution ensures that SEMA’s hospitals can deliver complex, high-quality surgeries—free of charge—to those who need them most.

Thank you for giving this woman her life back, and for continuing to bring hope and healing to families across northern Syria.

With gratitude,

Dear Supporter,

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for standing with vulnerable patients in northern Syria. Thanks to your generous support, SEMA’s medical teams continue to provide critical, life-saving care inside our hospital in Idlib — care that many families would never be able to access on their own.

Today, we are honored to share with you a story that reflects the true impact of your compassion.

Recently, our surgical team treated a patient suffering from a severe acute gallbladder inflammation, a condition that can quickly become life-threatening if not addressed promptly. The patient arrived in intense pain, with worsening symptoms and limited financial means. Without immediate intervention, the infection could have spread, leading to dangerous complications.

But because of your support — he did not face this crisis alone.

Our medical team performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive gallbladder removal procedure carried out with precision and advanced laparoscopic equipment. This technique allows us to:

• Reduce surgical trauma

• Minimize pain after the operation

• Lower the risk of complications

• Enable faster recovery and a quicker return to normal life

The surgery was successful, and the patient is now safely recovering under medical supervision. His gratitude — and the relief felt by his family — is a direct result of your generosity.

For families living through displacement, poverty, and limited access to healthcare, such procedures are often impossible to afford. Yet, because of supporters like you, SEMA’s hospitals remain a refuge of hope, where patients receive dignified treatment regardless of their circumstances.

Your contribution didn’t just fund a surgery —
you restored health, comfort, and peace of mind to a struggling family.

Thank you for making this life-saving intervention possible and for continuing to stand with our patients in their most difficult moments. Your compassion truly saves lives.
