Healthcare and relief efforts in Syria
Syria Response

Rebuilding care across a changing Syria.

A Wider Reach

A new chapter for Syrian healthcare

Following the fall of the Assad regime, UOSSM Canada, working with UOSSM International, expanded its support to medical facilities across Syria, including Damascus, Deir ez-Zor, and Raqqa. We remain committed to continuing medical and humanitarian relief throughout the country.

Years of conflict, displacement, and shortages have made it hard for health facilities to keep medicines, supplies, and staff in place. Our work helps keep clinics open and patients cared for, from the northwest to the capital.

Our response, from the northwest to the capital

Each project below is active on the ground, keeping care within reach for the people who need it most. Open each one to see what your support sustains.

Years of conflict, displacement, and shortages have made it difficult for health facilities in Northwest Syria to maintain a stable supply of medications, consumables, and personnel. This project supports three primary healthcare centres with medications, medical consumables, and operational support needed to keep clinics functioning, so families and individuals can reach everyday care where access remains limited.

Primary healthcare centres supported

This project supports conflict-affected communities in Northwest Syria with integrated primary healthcare, nutrition, and mental health services through supported PHC centres and outreach. Services include general and pediatric consultations, infectious disease treatment, sexual and reproductive health, nutrition screening and awareness, laboratory testing, community health outreach, and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), plus specialized support for children with thalassemia in Manbij.

Consultations and follow-ups

Patients living with chronic kidney disease depend on regular dialysis to survive, yet shortages in supplies, funding, and operational support can place these services at risk. This project supports the dialysis centre with medical supplies, staffing, infection prevention materials, laboratory services, and operational assistance, protecting safe and uninterrupted treatment from February to April 2026.

Machines kept functional

Frequent fuel shortages and limited medical resources continue to affect the ability of Syrian health facilities to operate consistently in conflict-affected areas. This project helps facilities stay functional by supporting generator fuel and essential medical supplies, so clinics and hospitals can keep operating and providing emergency, lifesaving, and routine care despite ongoing infrastructure and resource challenges.

Access to medical oxygen remains a major challenge in many Syrian healthcare facilities due to high costs, shortages, and dependence on external suppliers. This project strengthens healthcare capacity by supporting the installation of an oxygen generation system for a more reliable, sustainable supply, essential for emergency care, surgeries, respiratory illnesses, and critical care.

Oxygen generation system installed

This project supports vulnerable children under five and pregnant and lactating women in Homs Governorate through lifesaving nutrition services, community-based screening, and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) support, responding to rising food insecurity and limited access to nutrition services. It also trains mothers on the Family MUAC approach to support early detection of malnutrition at the household level.
