Project Summary
According to the United Nations, the number of people requiring humanitarian assistance in Syria has reached 13 million as a result of the conflict that began in 2011. With more than 6 million Syrians displaced and approximately 3 million people struggling to survive in besieged areas, the situation remains critical. Continuous internal displacement, combined with the severe degradation of the country’s economy and infrastructure, has left a vast majority of the population without access to essential health services.
Since 2018, Doctors Worldwide has been implementing sustainable initiatives in response to the Syrian crisis. Within this framework, health centers established in priority regions provide comprehensive services, including examinations, treatments, surgical interventions, and the distribution of medical supplies and essential medications. To date, over 1.5 million beneficiaries have been reached through the Soran, Cinderes, and Suluk health centers operating in the region.

Vaccination efforts remained consistent, with 86 mothers and 16 children reached in January, 88 mothers and 13 children in February, and 107 mothers and 9 children in March.
Conclusion
Between January and March 2026, YYD (Doctors Wroldwide Türkiye) responded consistently and comprehensively to the essential health needs of conflict-affected populations through the Suluk and Soran Health Centers. Maternity & Primary Health Care services, outpatient examinations, emergency and dental care, as well as medication and medical supply assistance constituted the core of service delivery. In particular, the Soran Maternity & Primary Health Care Center managed a high patient volume, bearing a significant share of the regional health burden with a steady increase in laboratory and vaccination services throughout the quarter. The consistent delivery of these services, alongside the extensive medication support provided at both centers, demonstrates the organisation's strong operational capacity in the field and its critical role in ensuring continuity of access to essential healthcare services in Northern Syria.
