The Syrian Future Movement strongly condemns the attack on the Medical Hospital (formerly known as Dawa) in the Azaz area of \u200b\u200brural Aleppo, which occurred following the death of a patient. The attack resulted in the destruction of the hospital’s contents and assaults on medical staff while they were performing their humanitarian duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Movement also supports the firm stance taken by the Ministry of Health in condemning this attack and affirming that “the death of a patient cannot justify attacks on healthcare workers or damage to medical facilities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We emphasize that such acts are not merely attacks on property, but rather crimes against patients who rely on these facilities. They threaten the lives of others and disrupt the provision of essential health and treatment services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement notes that this attack, in essence, reflects a significant moral and legal challenge and raises key issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, the responsibility to protect healthcare facilities. We believe that protecting them is a fundamental duty, as hospitals are the first line of defense for the lives of citizens, and any attack on them is a direct threat to the health security of the entire community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, we reject the logic of violence as a means of resolving conflicts, and we support the Ministry’s call that “any complaint or allegation of negligence or medical error must be addressed exclusively through the competent legal and judicial frameworks, and not through assault or acts of chaos.” We see this position as a consolidation of the principle of the rule of law and a thwarting of any attempt to justify violence with flimsy pretexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this context, the Syrian Future Movement reiterates its consistent positions, published on its official website, which emphasize the priority of protecting the health sector and ensuring the safety of medical personnel. These positions include the statement regarding the “Presidential Grant for Palmyra Hospital” (dated August 11, 2026), which affirmed that “healthcare is not charity, but a right,” and that improving health services requires protecting facilities and their staff, considering this a shared national responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Syrian Future Movement affirms that building a new Syria requires establishing a culture of law and strong institutions, and respecting our medical personnel who are making exceptional efforts under difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement will remain committed to supporting all efforts that strengthen the protection of the health sector, criticizing any shortcomings, and monitoring every achievement, striving for a new Syria where the rule of law prevails and the safety of both patients and medical staff is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A report on the attack on Medicals Hospital in Azaz and a statement from the Ministry of Health condemning this unacceptable act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":66921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4850],"tags":[4706],"class_list":["post-66923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-medical-office-en","tag-press-release"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
