00:01:27historical landmarks, and health facilities
00:01:30regarding their needs through direct meetings
00:01:34with officials here. Of course, with
00:01:37officials and residents, and also local figures.
00:01:41Of course, the focus of these visits remains on
00:01:44listening to the needs raised,
00:01:4873 tons of setting priorities, and following up on issues that
00:01:51require attention in coordination between the concerned parties,
00:01:55of positions in various specialties in line with the requirements of
00:01:58the people of the governorate in various sectors.
00:02:01Of course. Okay, Shadi, I will conclude with you. How,
00:02:05how did the residents of Quneitra view
00:02:08this visit? What was the impact of this visit on
00:02:11the residents? What did
00:02:13they say?
00:02:17Of course, the residents welcomed the delegation with the governor and
00:02:21the officials here and the directors of the governorate
00:02:24here. They welcomed them. There was joy among
00:02:28the residents
00:02:30for the visit to the governorate. The residents considered it
00:02:33the forgotten governorate, the governorate that was marginalized.
00:02:37It was marginalized during the era of the defunct regime.
00:02:41They now consider it a governorate that is neither forgotten
00:02:44nor marginalized as it was in the past. Rather,
00:02:47the members of the People's Assembly, led by
00:02:50the Deputy Speaker of the People's Assembly,
00:02:53anyone from messing with the people. The people turned out to be smarter than Welcome, dear viewers, to who was present here, the governor,
00:02:56and the directors, there were needs from the residents
00:02:59when they saw
00:03:01director of the Cancer Control Department in and met the members of the People's Assembly, that
00:03:04Quneitra exists and still is, as the members of the People's Assembly said,
00:03:08that Quneitra is in the heart of Syria and is always
00:03:10in our hearts.
00:03:13That is, the listening by the members
00:03:16of the People's Assembly to the residents. The most prominent
00:03:20demands from the residents were about
00:03:24of several sites in the repeated Israeli violations, the kidnappings. There were several issues.
00:03:28That is, Abdul Razzaq, the visit started from here, where the governor of Quneitra
00:03:32and the residents here in the environmental park
00:03:35were welcomed so that they could see
00:03:38the beauty of Quneitra, which some of them
00:03:41had not visited yet. This is the first
00:04:02Chicago hosted the 14th National Conference
00:04:06of the Syrian American Medical Association (SAMS),
00:04:10with the presence of a diplomatic delegation from the Syrian Embassy
00:04:13in Washington.
00:04:15First, we highly appreciate the efforts of the Syrian American Medical
00:04:20Association (SAMS) and we value and are proud of all the roles
00:04:24played by Syrian medical professionals abroad. In fact,
00:04:27we view today's conference as a strategic opportunity to connect Syrian
00:04:31medical expertise with the priorities of rebuilding the health sector,
00:04:33and this is fully consistent with the vision of His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates and the Chargé d'Affaires,
00:04:37Mr. Mohammad Qanatiri, in
00:04:41enhancing communication with Syrian professionals in
00:04:44general. This conference brings together
00:04:47waterways to protect them from many specialized doctors,
00:04:50and this conference also includes a meeting
00:04:54for future doctors, medical students
00:04:57and specialists in American universities
00:05:00who will carry the torch
00:05:04for the future operations of SAMS organization, God willing. Several services have been provided in the hospitals of the Ministry
00:05:07of Higher Education. Coordination is at the highest level, and the names of doctors
00:05:11are available at the crossings
00:05:15carrying supplies and some equipment needed for this medical mission.
00:05:19Coordination is done with the crossings and customs administration,
00:05:22and our passage is facilitated. So, apparently, coordination is at
00:05:26the highest levels in the homeland. What we are trying to do in Syria is
00:05:29similar to the healthcare
00:05:31system in America,
00:05:33of course, the financial capabilities of the system are very
00:05:37different here and in Syria.
00:05:39Therefore, the hospitals we chose or the people we
00:05:43brought are people who at least have a background in what it means
00:05:46for someone who cannot afford
00:05:50the care they need to receive.
00:05:53We are currently,
00:05:55as
00:06:00an organization, the pharmacy department, with SAMS organization,
00:06:03working on short-term and long-term goals,
00:06:07and our main goal is to improve
00:06:10the cultural
00:06:13system for pharmacists in Syria,
00:06:19optimal
00:06:21treatment. That is, we are improving treatment and working
00:06:25on the safety of patient treatment
00:06:27in Syria.
00:06:34The Ministry of Health opened an additional room in the intensive
00:06:37care unit at Ibn Al-Nafees Hospital in Damascus, increasing the

00:06:54provided to patients. The Assistant Minister of Health for Health Affairs,
00:06:58Hussein Al-Khatib, explained that the expansion contributes to relieving pressure on

00:07:37legal measures against violators
00:07:40that could lead to the suspension of applications. It called

00:07:45requirements through its official

00:20:44we aspire to in translating these relations into broader economic
00:20:48and investment cooperation that serves the interests of our two countries and our brotherly
00:20:51peoples. Successful investment is that which reflects on
00:20:55people's lives and is based on

00:22:10From this platform, and as a state that has adopted
00:22:13absolute transparency and acted with full responsibility,
00:22:17we reiterate the urgent call, in accordance with General
00:22:20Resolution 1995, to make the Middle East

00:24:09the land outlets to become economic
00:24:12bridges through which convoys

00:24:19outlets are not merely a process of infrastructure
00:24:22restoration, but
00:24:24rather a comprehensive preparation process
00:24:28for stable trade lines and safer

00:28:41painful thing for
00:28:43me was when someone told me, "Stop the barrel bomb," and then talked to me
00:28:47about freedom. There should have been a provisional government, a military
00:28:51council, a council to prevent
00:28:55everyone. Based on the death of my family, they know that I am mourning.
00:28:58They came to visit me in Tadmur after 20 years.
00:29:02To prepare for the attempted coup against Hafez. How did
00:29:06you uncover it? What should we do? I told him it was the first time I had been isolated.
00:29:09I remember, by God, I don't know what he will do to us. I expected the revolution to be
