Nearly half a million medical consultations were provided in Aleppo, Idleb, Hama, and Homs through funding from Saudi Arabia through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), helping families access essential health care closer to home at a time when needs remain high across Syria.

 KSrelief-supported work by the World Health Organization (WHO) enabled around 475,000 consultations, 260,000 medicine-related services, 51,000 laboratory tests and 35,000 dialysis sessions. The support is helping keep primary health care and life-saving dialysis services available for people affected by conflict, displacement, economic hardship and limited access to care.

The 11-month project, which began in November 2025, is implemented by WHO with Al Ameen Humanitarian Support Association as the implementing partner, in close coordination with the Ministry of Health and local health directorates. It supports an integrated network of primary health care centres and dialysis centres across Aleppo, Idleb, Hama and Homs, helping maintain essential services during Syria’s ongoing health system transition.

The project is designed to support 70 primary health care centres and 10 dialysis centres. At supported health facilities, people can receive free consultations, essential medicines, basic laboratory tests, care for noncommunicable diseases, sexual and reproductive health services, immunization services and referrals when higher-level care is needed.

“Our heartfelt commitment to saving lives and bringing hope to Syrians in need. By providing access to vital healthcare services, including lifesaving treatments like dialysis, we are standing with families as they rebuild their lives and find resilience in the face of ongoing challenges,” said Dr. Abdullah AlMoallem, Director of the Health and Environmental Aid Department at KSrelief. “Together with our partners, we continue to deliver aid where it’s needed most, working hand in hand to empower communities and foster a healthier, brighter future for all.”
