The Assyrian Medical Society is a charitable 501 (c) (3) organization helping the Medical needs of Assyrians and occasionally non-Assyrians as well. In October of 2008, the Assyrian Medical Society was entrusted to operate the Medical Relief Project that offers medical care to our Assyrian brothers and sisters throughout the world. This fund provides support through the development of charitable contributions as well as through creating community awareness.

 

Our volunteers are the backbone of this organization. All of our fundraising events require the help of volunteers. We work with local and international organizations to develop cost-effective solutions to help our Assyrian patients. These charitable organizations deliver in a practical way, sensitive to local culture, with minimal administrative costs.

 

This fund provides medical care to Assyrians in need of medical care, payments of the ordinary and necessary expenses of transporting Assyrian patients locally or internationally, and finally payments of ordinary and necessary lodging and meals for the Assyrian patients and their guardians.

 

There will be four criteria that must be met prior to disbursement of the funds:


  1. The patient must meet the eligibility rules, which include;
    1. The disease must be curable
    2. The disease must not require long term follow up
    3. The cost of care should not exceed what is normally allocated per patient
  2. There must be an approved treatment plan.
  3. Funds must be available.
  4. There must be an accepting treating facility that is willing to provide care on charity conbasis.

As such, almost all cancer patients, chronic back pain, Neurological cases, such as Poliomyelitis or stroke, and the chronic medical (non-surgical cases) are excluded.

 

Patients under 18 years of age, with diseases meeting the above mentioned criteria take the first priority.
