Each year, the Jeen Centre for Haematology and Children's Cancer holds a special day for patients to keep them happy and entertained as part of their treatment and rehab. Nassem Sadiq was there to cover this event.
Director General of Dohuk Health Directorate, Dr Afrasyab Mosa, told SBS that while there were many challenges in disease management, a new centre for cancer treatment would be opened in six months.
Mr Sadiq also met one of the organisers and contributors to this event, Nada George Ibrahim, an Assyrian activist in humanitarian affairs and a business owner who has been involved with the centre for many years.
She said that she always feels joy and happiness when she sees sick children happy with smiles on their faces.
