Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, received on Monday WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, Ahmed Al-Mandhari.

The talks touched upon the active collaboration between the organization and the medical sector in Syria aimed at improving the reality of the health response whether in terms of epidemiological and disease control or improving the technical support and the medical equipment.

During the meeting, President al-Assad asserted that the Regional Health Interest requires action and cooperation among all states in the region to cope with the diseases that are spreading and transmitting from one country to another.

Al-Mandhari, in turn, voiced WHO appreciation for what it receives of support and facilitation offered by the Syrian state aiming to providing the medical assistance for Syrians across the country, referring to Syria’s initiatives in this regard.
