It will spare families costly private scans and end the agony of not knowing. The device costs $500,000, but its impact will reach thousands. Contribute and help turn waiting into healing.
The CT scanner at Ibn al-Nafis Hospital in Damascus has broken down, leaving thousands of patients without accurate diagnosis. Doctors are forced to rely on less precise tools, delaying treatment for strokes, injuries, tumors, and internal bleeding. Families must pay for costly private scans or travel while ill, and many postpone care until their condition worsens. This project will replace the broken device, restoring fast, accurate diagnosis and timely treatment for those in need.
This project will raise $500,000 to purchase and install a new CT scanner at Ibn al-Nafis Hospital. Once operational, the device will allow doctors to perform scans within minutes, detecting strokes, bleeding, tumors, and fractures with precision. Patients will receive a clear diagnosis on site, without costly private scans or long journeys. Emergency teams will act faster, and treatment will begin immediately, turning uncertainty into a clear path to recovery.
In the long term, the new CT scanner will serve thousands of patients every year, becoming a cornerstone of diagnosis at Ibn al-Nafis Hospital. Early detection of cancer, strokes, and chronic diseases will improve patients' chances of recovery and reduce costly complications. The hospital will cut referral delays, strengthen the training of young doctors, and ease the burden on families. Above all, it will rebuild trust in public healthcare and secure lasting access to timely, accurate care.
