This report offers a comprehensive assessment of Syria’s health sector in the wake of the country’s political transition following the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024. Drawing on a series of regional workshops held in January 2025 across Aleppo, Latakia, Homs, and Damascus—with over 300 health professionals and stakeholders—the report identifies the sector’s most pressing challenges and outlines short- and long-term intervention priorities. The analysis is structured around the World Health Organization’s six core pillars of health systems: governance, finance, human resources, service delivery, supply, and health information systems.
