Summary

Polish Medical Mission (PMM), together with local partner UOSSM, is keeping the Bhouri Primary Health Care Center (PHCC) open and operational - the only source of free medical care for approximately 29,000 people. The project runs from March to December 2026 and delivers three interconnected services: primary medical care, malnutrition treatment (therapeutic feeding), and mental health assistance. The team identifies malnutrition cases, high-risk pregnancies, and acute chronic diseases.

Challenge

Years of conflict have left Syria's healthcare system in ruins. In 2025, 16.7 million people need humanitarian aid, including 15.8 million requiring medical care, while over 90% live in poverty. In Bhouri, where half of the 30,000 residents are displaced, the PMM-supported Primary Health Care Centre is often the only source of free treatment. Your support helps provide lifesaving care to children, mothers, the elderly, people with disabilities, and families with nowhere else to turn.

Solution

The project supports the Bhouri Primary Healthcare Center, providing integrated primary care, diagnostics, free medicines, maternal and child health services, and referrals five days a week. It also operates a nutrition unit treating and preventing malnutrition among children and pregnant or breastfeeding women, mental health services including counselling and psychological support, and an outreach team bringing healthcare, screenings, health education, and referrals to isolated communities.

Long-Term Impact

Syria's recovery depends on rebuilding healthcare from the community level. By the end of 2026, this project will provide free medical care to 15,500 people, deliver 34,100 consultations, support 7,900 people through nutrition services, reach 13,300 people via outreach, and provide mental health care to 970 patients. By strengthening the Bhouri clinic in line with WHO, UNICEF and WFP standards, the project creates lasting, community-based healthcare.
