Expert in the treatment of pain, EliseCare is a non-governmental organization of international solidarity recognized in the general interest since December 17, 2015. Apolitical and secular, its main vocation is to provide emergency medical aid to the civilian populations living in conflict zones.
In 2011, conflicts worsened in Syria, then in 2014 in Iraq. To respond to the remoteness of displaced and refugee populations from medical centers and their impossible access to healthcare, EliseCare created mobile clinics using old buses.
Traveling the roads of Iraq, and after assessment of needs, these buses provide regular care to populations of all specialties combined: general medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, pregnancy monitoring, postpartum care, psychology, pain treatment and acupuncture.
Traveling the roads of Iraq, and after assessment of needs, these buses provide regular care to populations of all specialties combined: general medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, pregnancy monitoring, postpartum care, psychology, pain treatment and acupuncture. Located near Zakho and Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, they offer permanent access to healthcare for people who cannot return to their region of origin.
The mission of these dispensaries is threefold:
- Provide free consultations and care
- Allow psychological monitoring of patients
- Offer access to medical training (acupuncture training, first aid, gynecology, radiology, biology)
