Aliyah, a paediatric nurse in northern Aleppo, has been displaced six times due to the conflict. She lives in a temporary shelter with harsh conditions and safety risks. She wears bags over her uniform while traveling to keep herself clean and protected.

Health workers are crucial to any health system. Over half of the workforce has left the country, but those who remain in Syria are working hard to care for the vulnerable. Without health workers, the system cannot function.

Health workers are crucial to any health system. Over half of the workforce has left the country, but those who remain in Syria are working hard to care for the vulnerable despite earning less than 25 USD per month. Without health workers, the system cannot function.

My Health, My Right _ The right to health for millions of people in Syria is being increasingly challenged. The health system is in deep peril. Just 63% of hospitals and 52% of primary healthcare facilities are fully functional.

منذ عام 2000، أنقذ التطعيم ضد الحصبة وحده حياة 9 ملايين شخص في إقليم شرق المتوسط. احتفل بهذا الإنجاز المذهل واحرص على حمايته. ساهم في تمويل التمنيع. يجب علينا الآن توسيع نطاق فوائد التمنيع المنقذة للحياة لتشمل كل ركن من أركان إقليم شرق المتوسط #بمقدورنا أن نجعل العالم أكثر صحة

Did you know that @WHO has certified 4⃣ countries of the @WHOEMRO Region as having eliminated measles and rubella? Bahrain, Egypt, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Oman have all achieved this distinction. Nobody should suffer from a disease we know how to prevent. #VaccinesWork
