Doctors of the World USA

🔴 Doctors of the World/Médecins du Monde (MdM) International Network and Mehad warn that funding cuts for #Syria risk forcing humanitarian actors to choose between life-saving interventions and shutting down essential health programmes. 🇸🇾 An unprecedented 16.7 million people in Syria need assistance this year, representing over 75% of the population. As humanitarian actors are often the only providers of healthcare, reduced funding means that access to healthcare will be severely limited. #MentalHealth and sexual and #reproductive health interventions are particularly at risk.

🇸🇾 #SYRIA: 13 YEARS OF WAR 🔴 Syria, 15 March 2011: in the midst of the Arab Spring, the Syrian authorities' violent repression of the population uprising leads to a destructive and violent civil war that continues to this day. The constant bombardment, violence and insecurity have led to a multitude of health issues. Only 59% of hospitals and 57% of primary care centers are fully functioning. Health professionals have fled the country and most civilians are unable to afford consultations and medicine. Today, despite the ongoing violence and difficulties in delivering humanitarian aid, Doctors of the World continues its efforts to maintain access to healthcare for victims of the conflict.
