Syrian American Medical Society Foundation
Our mission is dedicated to delivering life-saving services in Syria, neighboring countries and beyond.
The Syrian American Medical Society Foundation (SAMS) is a non-political, non-religious global medical relief organization. SAMS is one of the most active and trusted international NGOs on the ground in Syria.
Since 2011, SAMS has supported the healthcare needs of conflict-affected populations, delivering more than 28 million medical services free of charge to people in Syria and beyond. One year after the catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Syria/Türkiye, SAMS continues to address the special health needs of earthquake survivors, including ongoing medical care, long-term physical therapy, rehabilitation, prosthetics, dialysis, and mental health services.
Inside Syria, SAMS provides a full range of healthcare services, including emergency and trauma care, ICU services, reproductive healthcare, cancer treatment, mental health services, dialysis, physical rehabilitation, and much more. SAMS medical teams are delivering an average of 250,000 medical services per month, while also launching specialized medical missions, dispatching mobile medical clinics to displacement camps, training medical personnel, and delivering vital humanitarian aid to displaced families.
In addition to our work in Syria, SAMS is delivering essential medical care, free of charge to refugees and vulnerable populations in Türkiye, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Greece, Ukraine, and the USA, while also coordinating with partners to deliver humanitarian assistance and medical support to civilians in Gaza.

The Syrian civil war affects me personally. Not only does SAMS save lives in the crisis, but they're a rare organization capable of addressing COVID during the war.
