Crisis in Syria - primary health care - UOSSM 2025

About this project

March 2025 – The humanitarian situation in Syria has continued to deteriorate due to years of civil war, resulting in displacement, severe protection risks and restricted humanitarian access despite the recent fall of the Assad regime. According to the United Nations, an estimated 16.5 million people need humanitarian assistance in Syria, with over 7 million internally displaced persons. With GAC’s support, the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations – International (UOSSM) aims to: (1) increase access to primary healthcare services through mobile clinics and strengthened referral networks; (2) increase screening and treatment of moderate and severe acute malnutrition among children under 5, and (3) increase access to mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), including for survivors of Gender Based Violence (GBV).
