Islamic State Health Service (ISHS) (Arabic: الخدمات الصحية للدولة الإسلامية, romanized: al-Khidmāt al-ṣiḥḥīyah lil-dawlah al-Islāmīyah) was a healthcare service run by the Islamic State, it was first shown in a propaganda video, the video and logo resembled an NHS logo and video presentation.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]It was first shown in 2015 in a propaganda video to show the "western media" is lying, and to show health advancements that the Islamic State has done,[3] the service was explained by a Melbourne-born Australian, under the alias of Abu Yusuf.[4] The first buildings to be established by ISHS were constructed in Raqqa, Syria and Mosul, Iraq.[5] It would then start growing in Iraq more in places like Mosul and Tikrit,[6] this would also boost more propaganda calling for Sunni Muslims, specifically British and Australian to join the Islamic State and join the medical forces there.[7] It was also reported that a handful of female physicians were executed after not complying to treat members of the terrorist group and were replaced by male doctors in ISHS-run hospitals.[8] The service provided mass polio vaccines and cancer treatment for people living under Islamic State rule in Mosul hospitals.[9] The United States Air Force would take out[vague] hospitals used to treat militants to slow down the Islamic State's fighting, and put an end[vague] to most of the hospitals run by ISHS.[10]
