UOSSM found that in 2016, hospitals in Syria sustained a total of 1004 direct & indirect attacks. On average, each hospital was struck 7 times in an indirect attack, and was specifically targeted twice during the course of the year.
Lack of staff & resources has also caused closures; in 2016 UOSSM found there to be a ratio of just 2 doctors per 10,000 civilians. Many hospital buildings have been damaged & others re-purposed as temporary shelters for internally displaced families.
The medical sector in Syria is in a deep crisis. With so few doctors left, and a limited number of hospitals open – 1000's of people are left without medical care, in a country with a rising number of casualties.
Hand in Hand for Syria currently have 4 functioning hospitals in Syria, specialising in Women & Children, Trauma & General surgery, as well as a mobile medical unit & clinic. They also support 20 makeshift hospitals & clinics with medical consumables on a regular basis. All their hospitals provide free medical treatment to civilians.
Your contributions will enable them to save countless lives, and continue to provide free health care & treatment to the injured and sick inside Syria.
Thank you for donating!
