As part of supporting local development efforts, Tartus Governor Ahmad Al-Shami received today, Monday, the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria, Adam Abdel-Mawla, to discuss ways of joint cooperation between the governorate and UN organizations operating in the country.

The meeting addressed mechanisms to support projects in the health sector, particularly hospitals, by providing specialized medical devices to treat chronic diseases, which contributes to improving the quality of health services provided to citizens.

The two parties also discussed ways to support the education sector by providing necessary logistical supplies and rehabilitating the infrastructure of public facilities, along with developing joint coordination plans to achieve sustainable development goals in the governorate.
