December 2016 - The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate as a result of the civil war in the country. An estimated 13.5 million people continue to be in need of humanitarian assistance, 6.1 million of which are displaced internally by violence and 975,080 located in besieged communities according to the United Nations. Repeated and deliberate attacks on humanitarian and medical workers continue to plague the conflict, adding to the vulnerability of millions of people, particularly women and children, who are affected by the conflict and struggle for access to the most basic services. With GAC’s support, this project provides up to 738,900 conflict affected persons with access to health services. Project activities include: (1) delivery of primary health care consultations, including sexual and reproductive health; (2) provision of support to partners for purchase of primary level drugs, consumables, and medical equipment; and (3) provision of quality referral system to patients.
