Health system under severe strain amid funding and capacity constraints
Syrian health system faces severe strain due to widespread infrastructure damage, shortages of medicines and supplies, and limited funding, putting millions at risk.
Syria's health system is on the brink of collapse, with widespread destruction of medical infrastructure, severe shortages of medicines and supplies, a shrinking health workforce, and the closure of several medical facilities. Years of armed conflict have exhausted the sector and deepened its fragility, compounded by the absence of effective state institutions and the population's reliance on humanitarian aid. Many facilities operate below capacity, facing critical shortages and outdated equipment, which further limits access to essential medical services.
