October Missions Bring Healing and Hope to Jordan & Syria

This October, under the leadership of Dr. Hend Azhari, SAMS launched back-to-back medical missions in Jordan and Syria, bringing healing, hope, and compassion to communities in need.

In Jordan, a dedicated team of volunteer doctors and surgeons provided more than 120 surgeries and over 350 medical consultations in just four days. From eye and dental surgeries to pediatric and internal medicine care at the Za’atari Camp, every patient received treatment marked by dignity and compassion. Every surgery performed, every resident trained, and every patient healed is a testament to SAMS’ enduring commitment: to bring healing where it’s needed most, and to restore hope where it’s been lost.

In Syria, SAMS’ impact reached across seven provinces—Idlib, Aleppo, Homs, Latakia, Damascus, Daraa, and Tartous—where hospitals continue to face severe shortages of medicine, equipment, and trained specialists. Despite these challenges, SAMS volunteer physicians performed complex cardiac catheterizations, oncology treatments, pediatric and reconstructive surgeries, and gastrointestinal procedures, providing critical care that would otherwise be out of reach for most patients.

Beyond direct treatment, SAMS strengthened Syria’s fragile healthcare system through hands-on medical education and hospital support. Over 100 residents and medical students participated in intensive workshops on critical care, neonatal resuscitation, and oncology, gaining practical skills that will save countless lives long after the mission ends.

In just four days, SAMS doctors conducted more than 270 consultations, delivered life-saving procedures in multiple specialties, and assessed hospital needs to improve long-term capacity. Each mission site became a symbol of resilience — proof that even amid devastation, healthcare and hope can thrive when compassion leads the way.

About the Healthcare Crisis

According to the United Nations OCHA, Over 16.5 million people, more than 70% of the population, urgently need humanitarian assistance. SAMS missions are vital not just for immediate care, but for rebuilding Syria’s fragile healthcare system through clinical training, mentorship, and lasting support.
