Highlights

 

  • Years of conflict have severely disrupted the health system in Syria, leaving less than half of the country’s facilities in full service and resulting in thousands of avoidable deaths from injury or illness.
  • The lack of sustained and predictable access to besieged and hard to reach areas continued to exacerbate needs in these areas, depriving people of essential medical services and supplies.
