Syria Health Resource Portal

​​​​​​​​​This portal is provided as a service to the glob​al community concerned with the Syria question and its regional and global implications. 

The focus is on health, when possible, but we also provides links to resources across a range of topics of interest to discussions on health and the Syrian conflict.     

​The links are not comprehensive. We claim no responsibility for the content of the links provided. We do not endorse views expressed or data provided in the links.

Please suggest additional resources or tell us if a link is broken. Please write us at: lcs-info@aub.edu.lb

The development of this Portal has been made possible through support f​rom the Peace & Human Rights Division of the Swiss Federal Depa​rtment of Foreign Affairs.
