TO ASK'S
MEDICAL SERVICES
Medical Services is a program designed to
provide school children ages from 6 to 12 years old with dental and optical
treatments. These services were divided to two regions:
1. Dental and Optical
Services in the City of Sulaymania
2. Optical Service in Rural cities (Sharbashair,
Halabja, Shorish, Smood) 
Dental and Optical Services in the City of Sulaymania
ASK
subcontracted four private clinics in Sulaymania to examine the children and
provide them with the needed medical treatments. The services started in September
3, 1999 and continued until November 30, 1999. A total of 787 students were
examined and provided with full treatments. To see some photos, look at Medical
Service Photos.
Optical Service in Rural cities (Sharbashair, Halabja, Shorish,
Smood)
ASK with a cooperation
of a local NGO's Kurdistan Relief Association (KRA) started this service on
October 23, 1999. ASK/KRA mobile teams visited the elementary schools in cities
and towns around within the Province of Sulaymania and the Province of Kirkuk.
The medical teams examined students in their schools. Students (and some times
teachers) were transferred to ASK private clinics in Sulaymania to receive treatments.
Over 15,000 students benefited from this service. (See the photo of the mobile
teams: Mobile Medical
