00:00:00and preserving it from insect infestation.
00:00:03In the morning, this issue is then
00:00:06marketed through
00:00:09the marketing department of the General Organization and its branches
00:00:13located in the Syrian Arab Republic. It is
00:00:15directly
00:00:18network given to start the process of sifting, sterilizing,
00:00:20and preparing wheat so that it is ready for our farmer
00:00:24brothers at the appropriate time and with the specific
00:00:28program, and then to the global good quality. So, Mr. Ammar, the farmer needs these
00:00:32seeds in specific quantities,
00:00:36and also at times that are suitable for agriculture. How
00:00:39is it provided? How are the required quantities
00:00:42provided to the farmer and when are they delivered?
00:00:45Okay, the question is, currently, this is done
00:00:49in the General Organization through, after
00:00:52the wheat is
00:00:54supplied to the organization and the rest of the crops are supplied,
00:00:58the process of preparing and
00:01:00sifting and sterilizing the seeds begins immediately.
00:01:03This stage
00:01:06side effect that is on takes approximately two
00:01:08the prescription, to three months until the seeds are secured by
00:01:11the 11th month for our farmer brothers.
00:01:14However, we always have
00:01:18as a result of applying recommendations from the General Commission for Agricultural Scientific Research
00:01:20regarding seed rates. If
00:01:22it is irrigated wheat, the seed
00:01:26rate per hectare is 250
00:01:29states capable of protecting their peoples. kilograms. In addition,
00:01:32in the first stage, sorry, the first stages, it is given
00:01:36200 kilograms for the rest
00:01:40of the rain-fed crops.
00:01:42Amidst this Therefore, we are within people, regardless of their nationality, are free and this procedure. We
00:01:45market it to our farmer brothers and we also
00:01:49repeat the process of increasing
00:01:50Al-Quneitra are an integral the seeds with our contractors with the organization more. As
00:01:54for the improved, we sell this improved
00:01:57wheat at the improved stage. We sell it to our farmer
00:02:00brothers finally for its cultivation
00:02:04and supply to the General Organization for Cereals. Yes,
00:02:07the idea has been conveyed, Mr. Omar. We thank Engineer Ammar
00:02:11Al-Muhammad, the General Director of the General Organization for Seed Propagation, very much.
00:02:32on this
00:02:43is the main message of this year's
00:03:03And we move to another very important segment because many times
00:03:07you can see on the screen. we take a certain medication to recover from an illness or to relieve
00:03:11its symptoms, but afterwards, we discover that there may be
00:03:16this link is not some side effects that appear, meaning, with this use. Do
00:03:20we ignore that or do we consider that a sign that deserves
00:03:24links at the bottom for attention and reporting? So, knowing the undesirable effects of medications
00:03:28and dealing with them or with them in general is an essential
00:03:31part of protecting our health. Yes, Yara, and from here comes the importance of pharmacovigilance,
00:03:35our positions, whether at which aims to monitor side effects,
00:03:38evaluate them, and reduce their risks. Within this approach, the Ministry
00:03:42of Health launched the activities of the Global Drug Safety Week
00:03:46under the slogan "Side Effects: Don't Ignore Them,
00:03:49Report Them" to encourage patients and healthcare workers to
00:03:53report. Yes, to talk about the reporting mechanisms and the role of the department in
00:03:56monitoring drug safety, we welcome our guest here at
00:04:00the pharmacist Hala Al-Haddad, Head of the Pharmacovigilance and Drug
00:04:04what action will be taken Studies Department at the Directorate
00:04:04should underestimate the people. The people were smarter than of Drug Control at the Ministry
00:04:07of Health. Good
00:04:15for Drug Safety under the slogan "Side Effects: Don't
00:04:18Ignore Them,
00:04:21I took today caused this Report Them." What is the main goal of this campaign? First, I would like to note one thing, that
00:04:25the Syrian Arab Republic has become
00:04:28a permanent member of the global pharmacovigilance program
00:04:32adopted by the Uppsala Monitoring Centre for global pharmacovigilance
00:04:36in 2018. Of course, this
00:04:39entity launches awareness campaigns every year
00:04:42to raise awareness in this field
00:04:46so that we do not ignore side effects.
00:04:49And its slogan, as you mentioned, this year was
00:04:52"Side Effects: Don't Ignore Them, Report Them." Our goal of the campaign
00:04:56is to enhance the culture of reporting so that we reach what
00:05:03we talked about regarding the concept of pharmacovigilance. So, what is meant
00:05:07by this term? Pharmacovigilance is a term that
00:05:10means
00:05:12that it is a science that aims first to detect
00:05:16side effects, not only detection, but also
00:05:19understanding, evaluating and studying
00:05:22them, and reaching a measure
00:05:26that is taken to prevent these side effects and limit
00:05:30their spread, meaning, to keep the balance of the benefits
00:05:33of the medication outweighing its risks.
00:05:37So, for awareness purposes also, when
00:05:40we say side effects appeared after using a certain medication,
00:05:44what do we mean by this term? When do we say that this is truly a side effect? Every
00:05:47medication has documented side effects in its
00:05:50leaflet. However, sometimes a patient may
00:05:54use a medication and unexpected side effects
00:05:56appear, or they are written
00:06:00in the side effects, such as nausea, but their frequency is
00:06:03a bit unexpectedly higher.
00:06:06So, here the patient must be careful that I must
00:06:10pay attention and consult my doctor or report it. And God willing,
00:06:14there will be a detailed explanation. So, how do we distinguish between the expected
00:06:20on the medication, and a serious drug interaction?
00:06:23A side effect is a response, it is a natural
00:06:26and normal reaction that can be intended or unintended
00:06:30this medication at normal doses. For example, I
00:06:33took a medication and I experienced nausea or
00:06:37for a serious side effect, it is
00:06:40a response that leads to,
00:06:43God forbid, urgent medical intervention or hospitalization,
00:06:46or God forbid, more preventive measures
00:06:50in this regard to avoid any, God forbid,
00:06:53further harm that could happen to the patient. So, many
00:06:57patients, when they notice that there are
00:07:00side effects that have appeared on them, they
00:07:03stop the medication. How correct is this
00:07:07or not, and what is the correct action? We do
00:07:10not advise stopping the medication on one's own.
00:07:13Any patient who has experienced any side effect should consult
00:07:17their doctor or pharmacist
00:07:21so that the doctor is more knowledgeable about
00:07:24this procedure. The procedure might be to reduce the dose
00:07:28or replace it or take any preventive
00:07:31measure regarding the side effect. But stopping
00:07:35it on one's own might lead to a deterioration of their treatment
00:07:39or, God forbid, there are medications that might need to be stopped
00:07:43gradually, not suddenly. This procedure
00:07:46requires consulting the treating doctor or the nearest pharmacist or
00:07:50health center or any responsible healthcare provider. Reporting
00:07:55campaign. So, what are the approved reporting channels at the Ministry of Health
00:07:59in Syria? First, I would like to
00:08:02thank the Ministry of Health, the Minister, and the Assistant
00:08:06Minister for facilitating the link or the reporting
00:08:09link this year in cooperation with the
00:08:12Directorate of Digital Transformation at our ministry. They launched a new
00:08:16link, as
00:08:20This link can be scanned by any patient
00:08:23or any person using their mobile phone. If
00:08:28available, they can go to the Ministry's website.
00:08:31On the main page, there are quick
00:08:36reporting side effects. In
00:08:40case neither this
00:08:43pattern nor this is available,
00:08:46the patient can contact the nearest hospital.
00:08:50Our staff and pharmacovigilance officials in all
00:08:54centers and hospitals are cooperating with us, or
00:08:57the doctor can convey this message, and it will eventually
00:09:00reach us if they are not able to access
00:09:03these links. So, what is the idea behind reporting? I
00:09:06reported. Surely, there is also information
00:09:10that I need to complete,
00:09:13and then
00:09:16after this? First of all, no patient
00:09:20should ignore any side effect, even if it is minor,
00:09:23saying that this effect is fine, no
00:09:27one reports it, or that I am not 100%
00:09:30sure that the medication
00:09:34effect. My advice, which I convey
00:09:36through today's screen, is not to ignore any
00:09:40minor side effect. This side effect
00:09:43might lead to a preventive measure for other patients.
00:09:47Of course, when reports come to us
00:09:50at the pharmacovigilance department, we have an integrated team that collects data in our
00:09:54database. At the same time, we might
00:09:57receive repeated reports about the same medication.
00:10:01This gives us a signal to convert it from
00:10:04a normal voluntary report to a
00:10:07clinical complaint investigation. Here we need to distinguish between two types.
00:10:11The reporting we are talking about today is voluntary
00:10:15and not a complaint. In case
00:10:18the patient wishes to complain about harm or something,
00:10:21that has its own procedure, and this has its own procedure.
00:10:25Correct.
00:10:27For example,
00:10:32sometimes incomplete reports are
00:10:35entered into our national database. As we mentioned,
00:10:38we are connected to the Uppsala
00:10:43for global drug monitoring.
00:10:46So, we verify it and send it to the Uppsala
00:10:49center, first to the national
00:10:53program. Now, the second point we talk about is that this
00:10:57report could be the reason
00:10:59or it could give us a signal to investigate
00:11:03and inquire more about these effects. So, it has
00:11:06a procedure, like we have procedures we take
00:11:10or adopt as a clinical complaint. We take our
00:11:13procedures in cooperation with the drug directorates
00:11:16at our ministry with our partners
00:11:19in other drug control departments. We are definitely
00:11:22not a department alone. We have partners in drug control. We all
00:11:26cooperate in investigating this side
00:11:30effect of this drug. It might require us to withdraw samples.
00:11:34We might refer to references in the leaflet. We might refer to the national database. Did
00:11:38we have any side effects, or did the global database show any side effects?
00:11:41Of course, then we have an advisory
00:11:45committee in the department. We submit all
00:11:49these investigation procedures that we found
00:11:52from analyses and data and we submit
00:11:55them to this committee. This is an advisory
00:11:58committee headed by the Assistant Minister of Health for Pharmaceutical
00:12:01Affairs and includes specialized doctors
00:12:05and drug directors at the Ministry. It issues
00:12:09recommendations, of course. The recommendations might be to limit
00:12:12this side effect, either withdrawing
00:12:16it, modifying its leaflet,
00:12:19or modifying its administration.
00:12:22Sometimes we receive a different administration
00:12:31method. So, this committee is the one that makes
00:12:35this decision, and in the end, for sure, in the end, the balance
00:12:38of benefits will outweigh the risks.
00:12:41Yes. We thank you very much,
00:12:44Pharmacist Hala Al-Haddad, Head of the Pharmacovigilance and Drug Studies
00:12:47Department at the Directorate of Drug Control at the Ministry of Health.
00:12:50And we definitely encourage all viewers to actually
00:12:54have this awareness. And thank you for shedding light
00:12:57term. Because I hope it will
00:13:01be a culture and a shared
00:13:04responsibility. Certainly, the Ministry of Health will not be alone
00:13:08in this mission. Certainly, with our partners and the participation of
00:13:12all medical, pharmaceutical,
00:15:43Syria has left the trench of conflicts to take its place
00:15:45and position at the table of security
00:15:48manufacturing.
00:15:51The Syrian Arab Republic joined the international
00:15:54coalition against
00:15:55ISIS.
00:16:02And took a historic step by integrating the armed
00:16:05formations in the northeast within
00:16:07the national state institutions, and parliamentary
00:16:11life returned, and we began holding accountable those involved
00:16:15in violations during the era of the defunct regime.
00:16:19And today we cooperate with complete transparency with
00:16:22the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
00:16:25and the International Atomic Energy Agency to technically
00:16:29and institutionally close
00:16:31those files.
00:16:34Nations that are tested by fire emerge from it stronger,
00:16:37more resilient, and more immune.
00:16:40And the Syrians chose to be builders of a fortified
00:16:43and stable tomorrow. In our new Syrian policy,
00:16:46we believe that true security is embodied in
00:17:06The
00:17:19do not accept any Israeli aggression.
00:17:21Al-Khnaitra and
00:17:28part of Syria, and we will not allow any harm
00:17:31to them.
00:17:37Syria is free and will remain
00:17:39free.
00:17:44Syria is one and united, and the Syrian people, in all
00:17:48their segments, are one.
00:18:04Indeed, we welcome the President and the accompanying delegation. This
00:18:08confirms the strength and solidity of the relationship
00:18:12between Iraq and Syria. And God willing, this will be a good
00:18:15start for future and strategic projects, God
00:18:18willing.
00:18:24The two countries are bound by very deep historical relations, and there are also economic
00:18:28ties.
00:18:37We are very happy, by God, with this warm reception.
00:18:41We see your hearts embraced us before
00:18:44your eyes. Geography says
00:18:47the neighbor is the closest to the house, but wisdom
00:18:50says the one who is closest by blood. And God willing, the blood of Iraq and the blood
00:18:54of Syria are one blood. And maybe our bloods are both
00:18:58plus we are very united. Our bloods. We and you, God
00:19:01willing, are one people living in two countries. We want
00:19:05to revive our history. We want to resume economic
00:19:08cooperation, political cooperation, and unify
00:19:13the Arab level or the Islamic world.
00:19:16Your security is our security,
00:19:19and vice versa. And God willing,
00:19:22we will soon await your visit. God willing, you will honor
00:19:26us in your second country, and you will be the hosts
00:19:29and we will be the guests.
00:19:30God bless you. Very
00:19:34poetic.
00:19:37It is very important that we invest your presence today
00:19:40in your second country, Damascus, to
00:19:43start the roadmap, God willing, it will be long and sustainable.

00:22:11status in order
00:22:14to raise the level of service and the services we provide
00:22:17to ships.
00:22:33Today, we began one of the most important works in the project of building and rehabilitating
00:22:37the political island.

00:24:33Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Al-Ikhbariya
00:24:36channel.
00:24:40The most painful thing,
00:24:42was when someone told me to stop the barrel bombs and then talk
00:24:46about freedom. There should have been a provisional government, a military
00:24:50council, a judicial council. No one
00:24:54the word. My family knew that I was dead. They made
00:24:57a funeral for me. They visited me in Palmyra after 20 years
00:25:01to prepare for the attempted coup against Hafez
00:25:04al-Assad. How did you get exposed? What should I do? I told him, "By God, it's my first time
00:25:08in prison. Recite your prayers." By God, I don't know what we should do with us. I expected
00:25:12the revolution to start from Hasakah. I apologize if
00:25:15in this episode today we are going to relive
00:25:19painful memories. We
00:25:22wanted to convey the pains of Syrians,
00:25:25their dreams, their aspirations through colors.

00:25:38Because the distance between the street and decision-makers
00:25:41is a wall that hides the truth. We are here
00:25:45and
00:25:48everywhere, buzzing with questions
00:25:51and problems.
00:25:56To carry the voice
00:25:57of the people.

00:26:16the gap. Because your voice
00:26:19is the compass. Today is a literal
00:26:38translation of a real beginning for a project
00:26:41that was agreed upon with the European
00:26:44Union.
00:26:50In order to work on implementing this system
00:26:54and this system related to reducing the risks
00:26:57of disasters.
00:27:14We will have a clear map
00:27:18of mines in Syria and contaminated areas.
00:27:33Around the clock, Syrian facilities and ports pulse
00:27:37with activity and are fully prepared
00:27:40to receive the largest international commercial ships.
00:27:45continuous logistical activity and continuous
00:27:48work, the ports are witnessing a real
00:27:51maritime leap, thanks to their cadres who manage navigation
00:27:55with the highest levels of professionalism. With the modernization
00:27:59of equipment and the adoption of the latest mechanisms
00:28:03and international safety standards,
00:28:05the pace of work increases, making
00:28:09every day that passes a step closer towards
00:28:13a better future.
