Healthcare in Syria
Healthcare is badly degraded after 14 years of war: many hospitals are closed, medicines are short, and emergency services may not respond.
Key facts
- Travel insurance: not required for entry, but strongly recommended.
- Pharmacies: Pharmacies operate in cities, but stock is unreliable; bring everything you need.
- Doctors: 1.5 per 1,000 people (2021, World Bank).
- Emergency: Police 112 · Ambulance 110 · Fire 113.
