SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region - A church in Sulaimani has opened a care center for patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the first of its kind throughout the country.
Established by Mar Yousif church, the Mercy Mary center offers care to the patients free of charge.
“Those who have Alzheimer’s, or other old-age illnesses, need medications and special treatments that cannot be provided at home,” Kamaran Jalal, a doctor and medical officer at Mercy Mary Center, told Rudaw on Saturday.
“Therefore, we need multiple centers like this in Erbil, Sulaimani, and Duhok to provide care for Alzheimer's patients,” he added.
