Dear Supporter,
When 65-year-old Abdulbasit arrived at one of SEMA’s hospitals in northern Syria, he was in pain. Blood flow to his left leg was severely reduced. A CT scan showed why: his left iliac artery had narrowed by 90%.
The medical team used a catheter to widen the artery and placed a stent to keep it open. After the procedure, the pulse in his upper leg returned, and the team detected good blood flow in his foot.
Abdulbasit was able to leave the hospital in good condition.
Your generosity helps SEMA make specialized care available to patients in northern Syria. For patients like Abdulbasit, access to this care can mean protecting a limb and returning home to their families.
Thank you for standing with patients when so much is at stake. Your support helps keep the care they need within reach.
With gratitude,
The SEMA Team
