SAMS Northeast Syria Flash Update – January 2026
In January 2026, SAMS delivered life-saving medical support across northeast Syria, reaching thousands in Ar-Raqqa, Al-Hasakah, Deir Ez-Zor, and Al-Hol Camp. Key achievements include expanding the ICU at Ar-Raqqa National Hospital, rehabilitating lab services, and providing comprehensive care at health centers—covering general medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, nutrition, psychosocial support, and infectious disease management. Mobile medical units and ambulances extended care to hard-to-reach areas, while training sessions strengthened local clinical capacity.
At Al-Hol Camp, SAMS served over 11,700 beneficiaries with inpatient care, pediatrics, women’s health, antenatal/postnatal services, and medication support. Ar-Raqqa mobile clinics reached 455 additional beneficiaries. Amid large-scale displacement, especially in Al-Hasakah where IDPs surged from 5,700 to 146,000 in one week, SAMS and partner organizations are coordinating closely to meet urgent needs including cash assistance, essential medicines, and primary health care. These efforts ensure timely, comprehensive care for the most vulnerable communities.
