May 2026: Restoring Hearts Through Medical Milestones

This month across Syria, SAMS continued to raise the bar for what medical care can achieve. In communities where access can mean survival, patients received lifesaving cardiac procedures once thought impossible, families accessed critical maternal and emergency care, and healthcare workers sustained the fragile systems their communities depend on every day.

This May, SAMS’ newsletter highlights stories of care delivered in challenging contexts, medical milestones achieved against the odds and health systems strengthened through sustained commitment.

🔹 April Medical Mission: Restoring Heart Rhythm in Syria
🔹 SAMS Response in Lebanon: Delivering Lifesaving Care Amid Escalating Crisis
🔹 Launch of the Adeeb Asfari Maternity and Children’s Hospital in Idlib
🔹 A Historic Cardiac Milestone: First MitraClip Procedures in Syria
🔹 SAMS Dallas Cardiology Conference
🔹 Member Under the Spotlight: Dr. Chighaf Bakour

Together with our partners, supporters, and frontline teams, these efforts are not only saving lives, they are redefining the future of healthcare in Syria.

Explore the full May Newsletter and see how, together, we are achieving new medical milestones and redefining what is possible in Syria’s healthcare system.
