Future healthcare initiatives for a decade of loss
Syrian refugees have endured eleven devastating years of war, tragically losing their homes, livelihoods and their loved ones.
Prolonged crisis has left 14.6 million Syrians in need of humanitarian assistance with increased shortages of food, medicine and fuel.
Some 90% of the population are living below the poverty line and almost 2.4 million children are out of school, with many more facing barriers to accessing safe and stable educational opportunities.
To help combat the crisis, our Islamic Relief teams have so far provided 5 Health Care Centres. We have also provided 30,000 people with drugs, disposables and baby food.
In the ongoing crisis, Islamic Relief has been dedicated to providing continuing life-saving aid, including delivering vital healthcare support to almost 1.3 million people.
Primary Health Care Centres are at the frontline of health care provision, providing critical care for the significant number of displaced Syrians who are struggling to survive in camps.
Islamic Relief Australia has provided support to five Primary Health Care Centres, which provide direct services to the displaced Syrian populations. We are assisting 30,000 people, through providing essential drugs, disposables, baby food and medical supplies
Building on our work to date, our future focus in the region will be on reducing the impact of chronic diseases, childhood and seasonal diseases and improving reproductive health through the provision of antibiotics, painkillers, antipyretics and decongestants.
Additionally, Islamic Relief Australia will provide intensive care drugs, oxygen tubes and paediatric incubators necessary for patients in intensive care.
