00:00:59of the governorate. the blood bank. We also receive
00:01:02cases from hospitals and doctors.
00:01:05We analyze them and confirm whether there is an AIDS infection or
00:01:08not. It is
00:01:11also a center responsible for issuing
00:01:14certificates of freedom from AIDS. Syrians or
00:01:18foreigners come to us
00:01:21to obtain this certificate. For example,

00:01:31Positive cases are followed up
00:01:35through us and through the Ministry of Health and the Counseling Center,
00:01:38which is the center adjacent to us.
00:01:41The Counseling Center's services are
00:01:45free, voluntary, and confidential.
00:01:49We dispense
00:01:53from dealing with the old issue of treatment to patients with follow-up
00:01:57challenges facing the follow-up of this of the case in the laboratory. We dispense free treatment.
00:02:00It is according to the latest
00:02:04international protocols.
00:02:09which were immortalized in
00:02:12Regarding this topic, I welcome Dr. Kinan Rajeh, Director of the Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases Department
00:02:16at the Damascus Health Directorate. Welcome
00:02:20to address this
00:02:21to the prices circulating in to you, Doctor, to talk about, at the beginning, let's talk about the mechanisms
00:02:26and traders about the impact of rumors on for monitoring cases and diagnosis. How is this process
00:02:30related to HIV infection
00:02:33in Damascus? Thank you for
00:02:37the addition. Welcome to you all.
00:02:41Currently, in Damascus,
00:02:43in Syria in general,
00:02:48abroad and succeeded abroad, the HIV disease is detected
00:02:52through voluntary
00:02:55reporting. That means
00:02:58they visit the counseling centers for voluntary testing
00:03:02on their own, or through
00:03:04pre-marital
00:03:06clinics, or through blood
00:03:09banks. This is how we know if we have
00:03:13advancements instead of infections or not. Currently,
00:03:16we have about 35%
00:03:19of patients who
00:03:23voluntarily visit the counseling and
00:03:26voluntary testing
00:03:28in addition to preserving center. So here we noticed an
00:03:32improvement in detection from these entities.
00:03:35complete. Are these the entities that refer these cases to the specialized
00:03:39center
00:03:41voluntarily? Currently, everything is voluntary.
00:03:45The entities that
00:03:47an attempt to preserve send are blood banks and pre-marital
00:03:50clinics. They conduct
00:03:54Today, we have a lot of pre-marital tests.
00:03:55Aleppo, from If they suspect any infection in anyone,
00:03:58they are sent
00:04:01to the counseling and voluntary testing center.
00:04:05on the unified frequency the heart of the story. Attention to this Okay, and when initial results
00:04:07indicate the possibility of infection, what are the procedures
00:04:11followed? The procedures,
00:04:15procedures for is broader than can wear this first, we have something called a rapid test.
00:04:17If it is indicative, a blood sample is drawn
00:04:21for an initial test in the AIDS laboratory
00:04:23in Damascus.
00:04:27Aleppo, from It is also confirmed with another sample in
00:04:30the Public Health Laboratories
00:04:33affiliated with the Ministry of Health. Okay,
00:04:37on the unified frequency when this is done and this is
00:04:40confirmed, the person is considered infected
00:04:44and placed on the program and provided with counseling. They receive
00:04:47free treatment. Okay, usually, in
00:04:51and effort for the process of confirming the infection
00:04:53or not, is there a time frame for conducting
00:04:57these results or tests?
00:05:01The rapid test takes 10 to 15
00:05:05minutes. As for blood tests,
00:05:09it takes days.
00:05:12The Ministry of Health always strives for
00:05:15a good and reliable test. It's not about
00:05:19speed. We have an initial indication that this person
00:05:22might be infected, but it must be confirmed by two laboratories,
00:05:26the Public Health Laboratories and the AIDS laboratory. Approximately two samples
00:05:29are retested to confirm that this person is indeed infected.
00:05:33And to follow up on the case after confirming the infection, is there a specific
00:05:37mechanism? Of course, this is now placed on
00:05:40the national program for AIDS patients
00:05:43in Syria.
00:05:46It is followed up through the Counseling and Voluntary Testing Center.
00:05:50The Counseling Center's staff are trained
00:05:54to provide counseling and any information the patient
00:05:57needs in complete confidentiality.
00:06:00Any information, any services they need,
00:06:02they are placed and
00:06:06taught how to take their medication, and their
00:06:09medication is dispensed monthly. And
00:06:14um, okay, I would like to address whether there are
00:06:17available AIDS medications, but before
00:06:21that, let's address the reality of this disease
00:06:24and this infection with this virus in
00:06:27Syria. How does it look? Currently,
00:06:30according to World Health Organization data,
00:06:33Syria is classified as a country with a low
00:06:36prevalence rate
00:06:40for HIV. The prevalence rate in Syria
00:06:43is approximately 0.1%, which is a very weak
00:06:47rate, meaning very low.
00:06:51All infections, almost all infections in
00:06:55Syria, are about
00:06:571538 infected people,
00:07:01and this is a cumulative number from
00:07:031990 until Okay, are there any
00:07:09disease or even challenges related to the availability
00:07:12of medications?
00:07:15Thank God, there are no challenges regarding
00:07:18medications currently. The Ministry of Health
00:07:21is appreciated for always
00:07:24delivering medication quickly
00:07:28and regularly. Thank God, we do not have
00:07:32a shortage of AIDS medications.
00:07:35However, we still have the social stigma, which remains
00:07:38a challenge. In our society,
00:07:43the social perspective needs to be changed. It is
00:07:46a disease like any other disease that needs
00:07:49treatment. It needs people to see
00:07:53its status as a patient,
00:07:56not as someone ostracized or something. So this
00:08:00social stigma is the most damaging
00:08:04thing in society. Yes,
00:08:06thank you very much, Dr. Kinan Rajeh, Director of the Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases Department
00:08:10at the Damascus Health Directorate.
00:08:13You were with us from Damascus. Thank you very much.
00:08:16We continue with you, viewers,
00:08:20in Eye on Syria, and after the
00:08:22break, the opening of the third Date Exhibition
00:08:26in Al-Jalaa city, in the countryside of Al-Bukamal, Deir ez-Zor.
00:08:49The news is not a passing detail, but a moment worth
00:08:53understanding. In a world full
00:08:56of headlines, we look for what lies behind them.

00:11:09caused significant damage in some camps in Idlib
00:11:12Governorate, where displaced people documented the conditions of their tents in
00:11:16Barisha area in the countryside
00:11:24The
00:12:11markets of Hasaka city witnessed a state of confusion after
00:12:14some traders refrained

00:12:21of operations of authorized exchange companies by the Central Bank.
00:12:24from receiving it. Syria TV correspondent reported

00:12:38pounds per US dollar compared to
00:12:40148 pounds for buying, according
00:12:46the markets. These developments raised concerns among citizens
00:12:51daily transactions and purchasing power.
00:13:05President Ahmed Al-Shara affirmed that Syria will rely heavily
00:13:09on Syrian competencies who have gained experience
00:13:13and tried to transfer the success experience to
00:13:17the interior, during his meeting with a delegation of Syrian
00:13:20experts and specialists in the technology
00:13:23and innovation sector. President Al-Shara said that Syria
00:13:27has many opportunities within
00:13:29its important geographical location and the absence of digital infrastructure
00:13:33in it, which allows benefiting from the latest global
00:13:38relying on old infrastructure and replacing it
00:13:41at great cost. He pointed out that rebuilding
00:13:44from scratch represents an important opportunity for Syria.
00:13:48He also pointed out that digital infrastructure is linked
00:13:51to government institutions and reconstruction projects, including
00:13:54residential reconstruction, explaining that digital
00:13:57life enters into various details of life.
00:14:29The General Organization for Social Insurance announced the launch
00:14:32of two new services for notification via short
00:14:36text messages, as part of efforts for digital transformation and to facilitate
00:14:40beneficiaries. The organization clarified that the first
00:14:43service targets employers who are late in paying
00:14:47their dues for a period of three months
00:14:50to notify them of the need to contact the organization
00:14:53and settle their financial obligations. As for
00:14:57the second service, it includes self-employed subscribers subject
00:15:00to Ministerial Decision No. 728
00:15:04of 2015 and who are late in payment
00:15:08for a period of six months, stressing that the step
00:15:11aims to improve the quality of services and save time

00:15:24More than a year after the Latakia forest fires,
00:15:28damaged trees still remain in their places without
00:15:31removal or treatment, amid fears of
00:15:35their fall and demands for treatment.
00:15:39and the utilization of damaged wood.
00:15:43More than a year after the fires that struck the forests of
00:15:46Latakia, damaged trees
00:15:50remain in their places without removal or
00:15:53treatment, while some have started to lean
00:15:56and fall, raising concerns about public safety
00:15:59and highlighting the need to address
00:16:03the fire issue and utilize damaged wood.
00:16:10The burnt pine trees are falling
00:16:13on our lands,
00:16:15roads, blocking them. They are falling on electricity lines, blocking
00:16:19them. This means the electricity is being damaged. There is a need for restrictions. It is forbidden
00:16:23to remove them for heating. People need to keep warm this winter.
00:16:27Perhaps in some way, the state can allow
00:16:30these people to keep warm, or it could be an income
00:16:33for the state. It could be given as a guarantee to contractors.
00:16:37The state benefits from it. And
00:16:41amidst the demands of the residents to address this situation,
00:16:44questions arise about the reasons for the delay in removing
00:16:47damaged trees and the plans adopted
00:16:50to deal with them, either by removing what
00:16:53poses a threat to public safety or by utilizing
00:16:57the wood according to environmental
00:17:00regulations and requirements. We in the Forestry
00:17:03Department are bound by certain rules and laws and scientific
00:17:06foundations. The most important thing is to provide
00:17:09protection for burnt areas and prevent interference with the components
00:17:13of the ecosystem for at least two years, extendable
00:17:16later, of course. After that, we will re-rehabilitate
00:17:20the sites and, God willing, plant trees.
00:17:22The area of forests affected by
00:17:24fires in Latakia last year was
00:17:28approximately 25,000
00:17:31hectares, according to the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster
00:17:34Management, which highlights the importance of accelerating the treatment
00:17:38of the effects of the fires and reducing
00:17:41their risks. Trees still bear the marks
00:17:45of the fires, and there are demands for solutions that combine
00:17:48safety and investment
00:17:52and environmental protection. Will the next stage witness
00:17:55a movement
