Özellikle Suriye’de yaşanan iç savaş sonrası çocukların tedavisine doktorlukta çok zorlanılıyor. Suriye’de bir grup doktor Makedonyadan gönüllü olarak çalışmaya başlamış. Ama bu yeterli değil zira onun günleri bombalar patlıyor evler yıkılıyor. Herkes eli birliği ve bu masumlara yardım etmeli. Makedon doktorlarla tanışma fırsatı bulduk. Konuşmalarını makedonca tercüme ettim. Hepsi en iyi görev burası dedi. Zira ihtiyaç sahibi gerçekten o insanlar.
It is especially difficult to find a doctor who will treat children after the civil war in Syria. A group of doctors from Macedonia started volunteering in Syria. But that’s not enough because bombs explode every day, houses are being demolished. Everyone has to help these innocent people with the alliance. We had the opportunity to meet the makedon doctors. I translated the speech into Macedonian. They said it was the best task at all. Because those people really need it.
