The long stretching conflict situation in Syria has completely ravaged the health care system in the country. At a crucial time when the people of the country need a comprehensive medical support, there is a severe shortage of doctors, medical supplies, hospitals, support staff and other facilities that can at least meet the survival needs of the civilians.

Voluntary service organizations have been rendering a phenomenal job in the health segment too amidst the multifarious relief activities in the country. These teams are into distributing the basic supplies, offering emergency medical care, providing medical training to medical staff and support workers, operating ambulances to transport patients, and establishing new hospitals and health centers both permanent and temporary. The most horrible fact is that over 15,000 health workers are reported to be either killed or forced to escape from the country for fear of losing their precious lives.

Since even the basic care is not available to a large segment of the populace, there are increasing number of deaths that has raised alarm amidst humanitarians. If more deaths have to be prevented, it is possible only through the support of more number of good hearts who can donate for this cause.

More than half of the hospitals in Syria have been bombed or brought down. Many of them have become non-functional. Amidst the range of relief activities, medical aid is perhaps the most crucially needed activity considering the present scenario in Syria.

A huge number of people have been injured due to bombing, gunfire, shelling and chemical weapons. The living conditions in the country has greatly deteriorated due to the unhygienic living conditions. Polio has emerged once again in the country. People are struck with hypothermia, deadly diseases and malnutrition. Therefore, attending to the medical needs of the country is a herculean task that calls for a comprehensive approach improving all the various segments of the health care domain.

The organizations engaged in relief activities are building new hospitals at locations where there is a crucial need for medical care. There are many women only and children only hospitals running successfully due to the support of these NGOs. Still a lot of hospitals are being established in several places. Medical supplies are helping hospitals cater to the needs of crowds pouring inside on various health grounds.

The supplies distributed by relief groups include essential medicines, dressing materials and drugs. The target units include hospitals, field hospitals and medical points spread over the country. In fact, a good amount of supplies are reaching remote locations via scooters where there are no roads.

The most important part of the medical aid relief activity in the country is operating ambulance services. Quite often, the success of critical treatments depend on how quickly the patient is shifted to the hospital. In this regard, a large number of ambulances operated by specially trained staff are being maintained in a number of units.

While more participation from good hearted people is the need of the hour, donating to Syria relief activities is one of the most satisfying kind of donations you can ever imagine.
