Health

Since 2016, Yazda and Stichting Vluchteling have provided specialized medical aid through a Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) on the North Side of Sinjar Mountain.

The partnership renewal for another year in September 2021 shifted the focus to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) with Mental Health (MH) integration, managing them through prevention, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and informing patients on self-medication.

The team consists of a physician, pharmacist, nurse, psychologist, and Community Health Officer (CHO) visiting 14 remote Sinjar villages weekly, serving over 1,600 monthly patients.

The MMU offers emergency transport, tracks patient data through a database, and provides essential medications and lab tests.

We aim to bring accessible, cost-effective primary health care to undiagnosed and untreated patients.
