It is hard to know what is best during war; should doctors leave at the war beginning or at the end? for doctor Osama Al-Barhoum, he preferred the second option. Most doctors had decided to leave their jobs, to the extent that a gap was created even for normal cases, while there was a shortage of doctors required for emergency cases.
The dedication shown by the doctors who remained deserves all ways of support.
Nothing forces you to stay in your job except your conviction that there are many souls in need of you to survive.
Dr. Osama Al-Barhoum, the resident pediatrician, said: "During the continued bombardment on Kafr Nobol city in north of Syria, I made a decision to remain in the city to treat the injured especially children, but with the increase pace of violence and shelling, everyone left and only a very few number of staff remained including me; I can say that I was the last one to leave Kafr Nobol".
"I moved between several hospitals in northern Syria, and now I am working in SEMA's Ariha hospital".
Dr. Al-Barhoum recalled how he saved dozens of children trapped between life and death when their hearts and breathing stopped, and how resuscitation rescued them. His only wish was to to save more little souls with the support of benefactors.
Thank you for your support doctors saving the lives of the most vulnerable patients in northern Syria.
