MdM in Syria
Following the rapid power shift in Damascus on 8 December 2024, the Syrian Arab Republic is undergoing a pivotal transformation that is fundamentally reshaping its humanitarian, political, and recovery landscape. The legacy of more than 14 years of conflict continues to manifest in an ongoing and unprecedented humanitarian crisis, characterized by significant challenges.
Currently, 16.5 million people are in need, with 8 million individuals urgently prioritized—representing 33% of the Syrian population. Syria's health crisis is compounded by multisectoral fragilities and overlapping crises, including severe shortages of human resources, insufficient medical supplies, disparities in salary scales between the Ministry of Health and INGOs, weak governance and monitoring systems, political uncertainty, evolving humanitarian coordination mechanisms, reduced funding amid increasing needs, and expanded humanitarian access to previously restricted yet highly contaminated areas.
MdM is adapting its interventions to remain effective and impactful within Syria's evolving humanitarian landscape.
MdM's strategy in Syria is structured around two main priorities: Providing primary healthcare services, including outpatient consultations, vaccination, nutritional care, and reproductive health, through the direct support of three health facilities.
Ensuring a community-based approach to promote equitable access to healthcare services for all.
