Healthcare Infrastructure Assessment and Modernization Plan for a Syrian Regional Hospital
A regional public hospital in Syria, heavily impacted by years of conflict, required support to assess its damaged infrastructure and develop a modernization strategy that would restore essential services, improve patient outcomes, and align with national healthcare recovery priorities.
The hospital faced extensive infrastructure degradation, including damaged wards, outdated medical equipment, and non-functional utilities such as water supply and electricity. Staffing shortages and a lack of standardized processes had further eroded service quality. The facility could not meet the growing health needs of the local population, including displaced residents returning to the region. Additionally, there was no clear roadmap for modernization or integration into broader public health planning.
Eurogroup Consulting provided a comprehensive infrastructure assessment and phased modernization plan tailored to the hospital’s needs, available resources, and national recovery objectives. Our solution balanced short-term rehabilitation needs with long-term strategic upgrades, ensuring the hospital could progressively resume operations and evolve into a fully functional regional health center.
We conducted a full audit of infrastructure, capacity, and equipment, supported by on-site evaluations and stakeholder consultations. Based on the findings, we developed a prioritized action plan focusing on critical departments such as emergency and maternal care, and integrated energy-efficient solutions, equipment replacement, and phased rehabilitation aligned with available funding.
We advised establishing a dedicated project management unit, investing in staff retraining, adopting digital health systems, and coordinating with donors to finance implementation. Sustainability measures included solar power integration and maintenance planning.
The project enabled the rapid restoration of emergency and maternity services, attracted funding for priority infrastructure upgrades, and positioned the hospital as a key regional healthcare provider. It also set a model for hospital modernization in Syria’s broader healthcare recovery framework.
