An Austin-based international health care nonprofit is raising funds to send medical supplies to a Syrian hospital that is the only one left in its city that can provide essential medical services.

The Iman Family Health Center, which opened in 2010 and is administered by Human Appeal International, provides pediatric, gynecological and obstetric care for more than 200,000 people in the communities surrounding the Syrian city of Aleppo. The hospital recently survived airstrikes in its vicinity but its greatest threat is the lack of financial resources and medical supplies, according to Circle of Health International, the Austin-based group organizing the fundraiser.

To help the hospital, Circle of Health International is aiming to raise $50,000 by Labor Day to deliver a 40-foot shipping container full of medical supplies and equipment to Aleppo. That container will send over fetal heart monitors, ultrasounds, stretchers, operating tables, X-rays and other basic medical supplies that will help stock the hospital for at least a year, the nonprofit said.

"While (Circle of Health International) can’t stop the bombs from falling or the war from ensuing, we can ensure that Iman Hospital will continue to save lives," Sera Bonds, CEO and founder of the group said in a written statement. "To think of the hardships its staff faces daily, for it to close because of financial reasons would be the greatest shame."

Since the Syrian conflict began more than six years ago, more than 7.6 million people have been displaced within the country and 49 percent of all primary health care facilities in the country are damaged beyond function, the group said.

Because of that, reproductive health care services have plummeted nationwide, according to the group, which specializes in providing quality maternal, reproductive and newborn health care in crisis areas. The hospital assists in 250 births per month, the nonprofit said, and all of those births are performed with the assistance of only seven doctors.
