About SAMS
SAMS' mission is dedicated to delivering life-saving services, revitalizing health systems during crisis, and promoting medical education via a network of humanitarians in Syria, the US, and beyond. SAMS began in 1998 as a medical society that bridged knowledge between Syria and the US, transitioning into a humanitarian response organization in 2011 amidst the Syrian uprising. Aside from the US and Syria, SAMS has registered branch offices or local affiliate entities in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Greece, Turkiye, Ukraine, and soon the occupied Palestinian territories. In 2024, SAMS provided some 4.4 million medical services for 1.46 million beneficiaries, through a network of over 100 health facilities and over 2,400 health workers in northern Syria, southern Turkey, the Attica region of Greece, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza, Morocco, Libya, and Ukraine.
SAMS in Ukraine
SAMS established operations in Ukraine in 2022, in response to the Russian invasion. Leveraging over a decade of experience in delivering health services in conflict, working hand in hand with Ukrainian partners, SAMS supported 35 facilities in Ukraine in 2024, delivering Mass Casualty Management (MCM) preparedness with Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) to support Ukrainian health workers. Based on overwhelming demand, SAMS has secured funds to continue similar activities over the next 13 months, with the goal of achieving long-term resilience and sustainable health system preparedness by localizing MCM knowledge while simultaneously enhancing MHPSS support systems for healthcare workers.
