Al Mouwasat University Hospital

What Al Mouwasat University Hospital does

Al Mouwasat University Hospital (مستشفى المواساة الجامعي) is a state-owned university medical center in Damascus, Syrian Arab Republic, operating under the supervision of Syria's Ministry of Higher Education as part of the public healthcare and higher-education infrastructure. It functions as a multi-specialty academic hospital serving Syrian citizens free of charge, with outpatient services priced at symbolic rates and health insurance cardholders accepted as a secondary payer group. The hospital also operates as the primary clinical training site for Damascus University College of Medicine and other medical and allied-health institutions.

The facility operates approximately 200+ beds distributed across seven surgical divisions (general surgery 57 beds, urology 40 beds, plastic/burns 32 beds, neurosurgery 15 beds, vascular surgery 11 beds, orthopedic, thoracic surgery 8 beds) and multiple ICU types (surgical ICU 16, cardiac ICU 13, burns ICU 7, intermediate ICU 6, emergency ICU 4), supported by advanced diagnostic equipment including a Canon Aquilion Prime CT scanner, Mindray and Snibe automated chemistry and hormone analyzers, an EDAN central monitoring station, MRI, mammography, and a skin bank. A specialty kidney transplant unit provides free transplants with lifelong follow-up. The hospital reports approximately 320,000 annual patient visits, 1,350 daily outpatient visitors, a 95% major surgery success rate, and 100% patient satisfaction.

Commercially, the entity is not a revenue-generating business in the conventional sense; it is a publicly funded service institution. It reaches patients via a direct-to-consumer channel through its Damascus campus, accepts health insurance cards, and maintains a downloadable mobile application for patient engagement. Active 2026 procurement tenders indicate ongoing investment in medical consumables, equipment maintenance, and IT infrastructure (patient database server and storage) rather than expansion of commercial scope.
