Everyone must see a doctor for diagnosis and medical care. When illness strikes, it weakens the body, diminishes strength, and prevents one from going to work and practicing one’s normal life. That is why QRCS allocates much of its humanitarian activities every year for supporting the health systems in the less fortunate countries, with a view to building the capacity of their health facilities, improving the quality of medical services, and expanding the outreach to remotely located and underserved communities”.
