Stabilizing Syria: Rehabilitating Syria's Public Health System in a Fragile Transition

Описание: Over the course of the the 14-year long Syrian civil war, Syria's public health system has undergone deliberate targeting by all parties, and particularly by the Assad regime. Systematic attacks on medical facilities, diversion of aid, and the mass exodus of healthcare workers throughout the conflict has resulted in a fragmented and devastated healthcare infrastructure struggling to meet the needs of Syria's population.

The fall of the Assad regime on December 8, 2024 now presents an opportunity for a rehabilitation of Syria's current healthcare system. Recent violence in southern Syria, however, also underscores the fragility of Syria's transition. To explore both the opportunities and challenges of rebuilding Syria's public health system, the CSIS Middle East Program will host Syria's transitional minister of health Musaab Nazzal Al-Ali for virtual keynote remarks followed by a virtual panel discussion on Tuesday, July 29, from 11:00 AM to 12:15 PM EDT. The panel will consist of experts Lolwa Al-Abdulmalek, Dr. Diana Rayes, and Dr. Bachir Tajaldin, and will be moderated by Mona Yacoubian.

This event is online-only and will be livestreamed on this webpage.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
