text: An Australian doctor is the face of the latest Islamic State propaganda video in which the terrorist organisation announces the launch of its own health service in Syria. The propaganda video shows a man with an Australian accent who calls himself 'Abu Yusuf' and calls on foreign doctors to travel to the ISIS stronghold Raqqa to help launch the ISHS (the Islamic State Health Service), which appears to be mimicking Britain's National Health Service. The vision shows Yusuf handling babies in a maternity ward while wearing western-style blue surgical scrubs and a stethoscope. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . An Australian doctor who calls himself 'Abu Yusuf' is geatured in the latest Islamic State propaganda video in which the terrorist organisation announces the launch of the Islamic State Health Service . The video's poster shows a cropped image of a doctor, wearing an western-style blue surgical scrubs which appear to mimic Britain's National Health Service . The vision, which is the latest in a string of high budget propaganda videos from the depraved militant group, shows Yusuf interviewed inside the paediatric ward of a Syrian hospital. 'My name is Abu Yusuf. I made hijrah from Australia to the Islamic State to live under the khilafah,’ he says. 'I saw this as part of my jihad for Islam, to help the Muslim Ummah (community) in the area that I could which is the medical field.' He claims to be sad he delayed travelling to Syria for so long. ‘It is disappointing to think how many fellow Muslims brothers and sisters in the medical field, who are doctors and nurses, physios, who are still living in the West and unfortunately the Muslims living here are suffering, not necessary from a lack of equipment or medicine but a mainly a lack of qualified medical care.' Yusuf  is shown monitoring and handling babies in a maternity unit as well as teaching another doctor how to care for the infant patients . The vision is the latest in a string of high budget propaganda videos from the depraved militant group . Yusuf urges foreign Muslims with medical training to come forward and join the latest caliphate initiative. ‘We really need your help. It is not the equipment that we are lacking, it is truly just the staff. Inshallah see you soon.' The video also features an Indian physiologist called Abu Muqatil al-Hindi, who says the physical therapy centre is ‘one of them most important areas that any hospital should have.’ The physiologist says there are already Australian physiologists in the wing, but he encourages more doctors to travel to Syria to help the struggling medical service. The video also features an Indian physiologist called Abu Muqatil al-Hindi, who  encourages more doctors to travel to Syria to help the struggling medical service . Abu Yusuf al-Australi calls upon foreigners with medical training to join the Islamic State's new medical initiative . Australian National University terrorism expert Dr Clarke Jones confirmed the authenticity of the video to Daily Mail Australia. ‘I’m familiar with IS propaganda and this is certainly legit,' he said. ‘The video is interesting because it’s trying to communicate a sense of normalcy within the caliphate. The babies, ambulances and modern medical equipment are a far cry from the barbarity of their other videos.’ ‘In reality, the conditions are not accurate: Syria remains a very hostile environment. But it communicates a major shift in their recruitment.’ Dr Jones believes the group are trying to attract more sophisticated demographic than in the past, when they targeted disillusioned youths. ‘They are asking for foreigners with medical training and an education, and they aren’t trying to lure them for militant purposes. This poses an interesting question: is this still considered radicalisation?’ Nine British medical students have travelled to Syria to work in hospitals in Islamic State-held areas.

The four women and five men apparently kept their plans secret from their families and fled to Syria .             Left to right: Rowan Kamal Zine El Abidine, Sami Ahmed Kadir and Ismail Hamadoun . The medical students are believed to now be in the ISIS-held area of Tel Abyad,                                                    From left to right: Nada Sami Kader, Mohamed Osama Badri Mohammed and Tasneem Suleyman . The footage, which appeared on social media on Thursday, comes after nine Brritish medical students travelled to Syria last month, claiming they were going to help treat victims of the civil war. The students are all believed to be of Sudanese origin and were studying at a medical school in Khartoum, Sudan. The students have been named as Lena Mamoun Abdelgadir, Nada Sami Kader, Rowan Kamal Zine El Abidine, Tasneem Suleyman Huseyin, Ismail Hamdoun, Tamer Ahmed Ebu Sebah, Mohammed Osama Badri Mohammed, Hisham Mohammed Fadlallah and Sami Ahmed Kadir. Former Melbourne man turned Islamic State recruiter Neil Prakash (above) has featured in recnt propaganda videos . In February, Australia's Attorney-General George Brandis announced an $18 million initiative to battle extremist propaganda. The operation, which will be launched in July, will employ a team of technology experts to assess the impact of online extremist propaganda. The government also plans to seek the help of platforms such as Google, Twitter and Facebook, to counter extremist messages. This week, senior Islamic State commander Abu Khaled al-Cambodi released a propaganda video where he ordered his 'beloved brothers' to 'rise up' and attack targets in Australia. The former Melbourne man was a key figure in police investigations surrounding a plot which was foiled last week which saw teenagers allegedly planning to attack police during today’s Anzac Day ceremony. Police have charged three men over  the shocking plot which would have seen a police officer run over and killed with a knife.
