Project Overview

The Syrian crisis is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world since World War II.

According to Humanitarian Needs Overview in 2018:
Six years of conflict have severely disabled health system in Syria, which left less than half of facilities completely in service, and that caused thousands of deaths

According to Humanitarian Response Plan in 2018:

Health condition in Syria kept deteriorating during 2016; more than 12.6 million people need life-saving medical help. At the same time, lack of available staff, medical materials, and damaged infrastructure obstruct providing life-saving health care.
It’s been 8 years of crisis and the conditions in Syria keep deteriorating. More than half of Syrian citizens have fled from their homes. 60% of people need medical help. More than half of public health facilities are either closed or partially working.

Health services and facilities have were continuously attacked in 2016, during that year, more than 105 attacks of hospitals and health care centres were recorded in Syria. 14 workers have been killed and 40 others were wounded.

Attacking and targeting health facilities threaten lives of health workers as well as patients which lead to closing services, and all residents were affected by that
