Health

Health is one of the most essential needs for every human being, and it is one of the sectors that has been most affected by the war in Syria. Many hospitals and health centers were destroyed, and their equipment and devices were stolen, leading to a significant decline in the ability to provide healthcare to citizens, especially in areas directly affected by the conflict. Treatment costs have also become extremely high, which has made a large segment of patients unable to receive treatment, particularly in cases of chronic and serious illnesses that require specialized and ongoing medical interventions.

Syrian Branch of international organization

This can be achieved through:

  • Provide specialized health services that are missing or scarce in Syria.

  • Support patients who cannot afford the cost of treatment.

  • Rebuild and rehabilitate health infrastructure.

  • Support people with special needs and the elderly by providing essential medical devices and supplies.

The organization aims to
