After more than a decade of conflict following the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, millions of civilians across Syria continue to live with the consequences of war. Critical infrastructure has been damaged, livelihoods have been disrupted, and the country’s healthcare system remains under severe strain.

In recent months, renewed instability in the province of Sweida Governorate in southern Syria has forced many families to flee their homes and seek safety elsewhere. Among those displaced are vulnerable Christian families who have relocated to crowded neighborhoods in Damascus, often with limited access to basic services such as medical care.

For many displaced families, visiting a hospital is difficult or impossible. Transportation costs, long wait times, and overwhelmed clinics prevent many people, especially children and the elderly, from receiving treatment for common health issues.

To help address this need, our team launched a mobile medical clinic in central Damascus serving displaced Christian families from the suburbs of Sweida.

The clinic brings essential healthcare services directly into the communities where displaced families are now living. Through this initiative, approximately 350 children and elderly residents are receiving vital care, including blood tests, eye and ear examinations, medication distribution, hearing aids, and free doctor visits.

By bringing healthcare directly to these neighborhoods, the clinic removes barriers that often prevent vulnerable families from receiving treatment. For many patients, this care is not only improving health outcomes but also providing stability and reassurance during a time of uncertainty.

Through initiatives like this, we continue working to ensure that displaced families receive the support, dignity, and care they need as they rebuild their lives.
