Brussels VI Conference Virtual Side Event:
Health and the impact of the socio-economic crisis in Syria

Nearly one out of three persons in Syria are internally displaced today, with limited access to health care and other basic services. Syria’s protracted crisis and socio-economic decline are pushing millions more people into deeper poverty and increased vulnerability to multiple health threats.

Speakers:

The side event will be streamed on Zoom, with simultaneous translation available in English, Arabic and French.
