Health service availability remains constrained due to facility closures and reduced operational capacity. Access to care is particularly uneven in southern governorates and areas of return, where insecurity, movement restrictions, and infrastructure damage limit both service delivery and uptake. Facilities are operating below capacity due to workforce shortages, supply gaps, and security concerns, while patients face significant barriers, including high costs, shortages of essential medicines, and limited access to specialized services.
