MEDICAL APPEAL SYRIA
The scale of the humanitarian crisis in Syria is enormous. The UNOCHA state that 15.3 million people are in need of healthcare provision in Syria. The medical crisis has continued to escalate during the years of conflict and the current situation is a disaster.
Around 60% of hospitals have been destroyed, damaged, closed, or are functioning at a reduced capacity. This is at a time when the Syrian people need medical care most. For the majority, a good standard of care is hard, if not impossible to access. The pandemic, fuel shortages, water shortages and the exodus of doctors out of Syria has exacerbated this even further.
One of the greatest humanitarian priorities for the people inside Syria is trustworthy medical care. People are dying from treatable conditions because they cannot access medical care at the level they need. It is life or death for many of these people.
We are focusing on playing a part in rebuilding some of the essential life-saving medical infrastructure that has been lost during the war, and providing the most basic health services for the poor. We have opened a permanent medical centre, and plan to open a second in 2023 to provide urgently needed medical care.
We are currently equipping these two centres, and keen to raise funds towards buying and equipping ICU ambulances to serve each centre. If you can help in any way please use visit our SUPPORT page and choose our “Medical” account on the giving form.
