PETALING JAYA: After six weeks of emergency rescue efforts in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes that hit Turkiye and Syria, Mercy Malaysia is transitioning into the post-recovery phase.
Its president Datuk Dr Ahmad Faizal Mohd Perdaus said that as the emergency subsides, the focus now would be on primary care, reproductive health and mental psychosocial support.
However, the Syrians are more resilient emotionally and mentally because after 12 years of war and living in shelters, they can better cope with hardship, he added. Asked about some of the challenges, he said Mercy Malaysia has 24 years of experience, so it is able to overcome procedural and logistics issues.
