Core offering

The Ministry of Health of Syria is a government ministry that delivers public healthcare services across the Syrian Arab Republic, regulates the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, manages a network of 104 public hospitals distributed across Syrian governorates, and operates digital health platforms including a patient registration system and a public complaints platform.

Product overview

The Syrian Ministry of Health operates a multi-platform digital ecosystem rather than a single unified product. The portfolio comprises a Digital Health Portal (البوابة الرقمية) as the primary gateway, supplemented by specialized platforms for patient registration, health surveys, complaints handling, and health app licensing. Behind these user-facing platforms, the ministry delivers six core service categories: Pharmacovigilance and Drug Research Services (including GXP certification), Medical Records Services (encompassing healthcare facility and professional licensing), Laboratory Services, Medical Supplies Services, and Administrative Development Services. The platforms work in concert to provide a comprehensive digital government health service experience alongside traditional regulatory and administrative functions.
