On November 4, 2026, officials of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid Center laid the foundation stone for a new Continuous Medical and Health Education Center in the city of Hama in Syria. The ceremony was held under the supervision of the Syrian Ministry of Health and marked a key step in boosting health education in the country.
The project will provide doctors, nurses and other health workers with a specialised training environment to sharpen their clinical skills and keep up with the latest medical knowledge. The center intends to attract qualified staff from across Syrian provinces, helping hospitals and health facilities provide higher‑quality services.
Representatives from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria attended the opening. The Saudi delegate said the centre is part of the kingdom’s effort to support the Syrian people through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid Center. The message carries weight as local and regional governments show interest in improving public health after years of conflict.
In a related announcement, Syria Weekly reported earlier in the week that Hama Governor Abulrahman al‑Sahyan also laid a foundation stone for a medical centre, with support from the Aamal Al‑Bar NGO and the Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid. The Syrian governor’s involvement indicates local endorsement of the project and could help the centre reach more communities.
By creating a dedicated learning hub, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid Center aims to raise the standard of medical care in Syria, leading to fewer complications in treatment and better health outcomes for patients throughout the country. The foundation stone marks the beginning of a long‑term partnership between Saudi humanitarian efforts and Syrian health authorities.
