WHO Global Health Emergency Appeal: Syrian Arab Republic

Overview

Syria is the beneficiary of one of the world’s most complex humanitarian operations. Its fragile health system remains strained as a result of multiple concurrent emergencies. These chronic challenges, which include ongoing insecurity, the COVID-19 pandemic and a debilitating socioeconomic crisis, continue to affect the availability and quality of health services across the country as well as the physical and mental well-being of the entire population. According to the 2022 health sector severity scale, areas of highest severity are and will continue to be located in five governorates in the North West and North East of Syria.
