The Government of Greece has contributed €200 000 to support World Health Organization (WHO) efforts to deliver essential medicines and medical supplies to health facilities across Syria. 

“This contribution from Greece reflects a timely commitment to the health of people in Syria,” said Acting WHO Representative in Syria Christina Bethke. “Together with the Ministry of Health, this support will help ensure hospitals and clinics have the supplies they need to care for people with injuries, chronic illnesses and other health conditions.” 

Millions of Syrians rely on humanitarian assistance, and health facilities face ongoing challenges due to medicine shortages, rising treatment costs and the impacts of prolonged conflict. The support from Greece will enable WHO to provide critical supplies – including trauma kits, antibiotics and medicines for noncommunicable diseases – reaching areas with the greatest needs.
