Report on barriers to healthcare
for Syrians in Türkiye published

DDD has published a report on the impact of barriers to healthcare on Syrians and migration in Türkiye.

Since 1 January 2026, Syrians under Temporary Protection are no longer able to access public healthcare services free of charge. This includes Primary Health Care (PHC) services, medicines, and secondary and tertiary care. The introduction of mandatory health contribution fees and healthcare service payments has significantly reduced access to healthcare for Syrians under Temporary Protection (SuTP).

While legally Syrians are able to access these healthcare services, practical access has deteriorated because of the costs now being charged particularly for uninsured and impoverished Syrians. These changes in legislation are directly impacting the most vulnerable: women, children and elderly Syrian people in Türkiye.
