Syria partners announce handover of 93 paediatric equipment items

Published

KSrelief, Syria's Health Ministry and UNOPS announced on 11 November 2026 the official handover of a project delivering 93 specialised equipment items to four hospitals in Aleppo and Hama.

Their statement describes a paediatric cardiac surgery department at Aleppo's Ibn Roshed Hospital and paediatric intensive care units at three Hama facilities. More than 64 healthcare workers received training in using the equipment.

The partners estimate the services can be accessible to more than 840,000 children in the two governorates. That figure describes a potential catchment population, not children already treated. Handover is an implementation milestone; clinical effects and sustained availability remain to be documented.
