HOSPITAL SUPPORT

With limited healthcare workers and weakened healthcare systems as a result of war in Syria, ensuring hospitals are able to provide services to affected populations is essential. UOSSM- Canada helps strengthen hospital services and ensures that they are able to continue to address the various health needs of a population affected by conflict.

MOBILE CLINICS

Mobile clinics are an innovative and low-cost approach to providing primary health care to geographically removed and underserved areas. Mobile clinics provide free healthcare and increase accessibility by easing financial and transportation barriers. By working at the community level, the mobile clinic can address both medical and wider community level social determinants of health and carry out important public health education.

REHABILITATION SERVICES

With many individuals living with physical disabilities, whether as a result of armed conflict or not, rehabilitation services cannot be abandoned in humanitarian settings. UOSSM-Canada recognizes the necessity of providing this service that is often not prioritized in humanitarian settings. UOSSM-Canada helps provide physiotherapy and rehabilitation services to help improve the quality of life of those affected by physical disabilities and injuries or congenital disabilities.
