The SRTF Successfully Completes Phase V of Health Project and Approves Phase VI in Northern Aleppo
Aleppo – Thursday, 12 November 2026 – The Syria Recovery Trust Fund (SRTF) has successfully completed Phase V of its project “Support for Health Services in Northern Aleppo Countryside”, implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the Aleppo Health Directorate. Building on the achievements of this phase, the Fund has approved Phase VI to sustain essential healthcare services and further strengthen access to specialised medical care in the region.
The newly approved phase will ensure the continued operation of the targeted health facilities and support the relocation and expansion of the dialysis department at Ibn Rushd Hospital. This expansion is expected to ease pressure on the existing facility while improving access to vital dialysis services for patients in need.
Over the six-month implementation period, Phase V ensured the uninterrupted delivery of essential healthcare services across a network of facilities, including one primary healthcare centre (PHCC), one general hospital, one Burns Hospital, the regional Ambulance Response Network, an epidemiology laboratory and two medical waste incinerators. The project also supplied an oxygen generator to strengthen the availability of medical oxygen.
Through these interventions, the project delivered substantial results, directly reaching approximately 453,994 individuals over six months. During this period, more than 20,267 consultations were provided through outpatient, inpatient, diagnostic and treatment services, while 8,851 patients received essential medications and 827 patients benefitted from ambulance referral services. The project also supported specialised surgical care, with 149 orthopaedic surgeries and 689 burns and reconstructive surgeries performed at the Burns Hospital. In addition, at least 19,325 patients received oxygen therapy and emergency medical care, while 3,865 oxygen cylinders were delivered to health facilities to support oxygen-dependent patients.
The project also contributed to protecting public health through improved medical waste management. The population of the area benefitted from the services provided through the safe disposal of medical waste, helping reduce health and environmental risks across the targeted areas.
Beyond its direct reach, the project is expected to benefit the wider population in the targeted catchment areas through improved access to healthcare, better overall health conditions and strengthened institutional capacity and community resilience.
With the approval of Phase VI, the SRTF is building on the progress achieved under Phase V and reaffirming its commitment to sustaining essential health services, strengthening healthcare facilities and improving access to quality medical care for communities in northern Aleppo.
