Since 2011, civil war has devastated Syria -- more than 11 million people have been displaced from their homes and over 13 million have needed emergency humanitarian assistance. The largest refugee crisis of our time, the conflict has destroyed healthcare and created some of the worst medical conditions in the world. A representative of the Syrian American Medical Society will share their life-saving story and how they have delivered over 5 million medical services during the last year alone.
