This report documents the devastating impact of the Syrian conflict on Aleppo, Syria’s most populous city and the area that has been the hardest hit in terms of attacks on medical facilities. The report explores how medical personnel have coped during the war, managing to provide health care despite minimal access to equipment, medication, supplies and personnel.
