Are adequate medical facilities available in Syria?
Basic medical care and medicines are available in Syria’s principal cities, but not necessarily in outlying areas. A number of privately-owned facilities in major cities are more than adequate in treating non-emergency illnesses and medical matters. Serious illnesses and emergencies may require evacuation to a Western medical facility. Facilities outside of the major cities fall short of U.S. standards. Please call the consular section or click the Medical information tab on our website for a selected list of medical facilities and physicians in Syria.
