Establishment of the Syrian-Scandinavian Medical Association

Foundation and History

In February 2025, the Syrian Scandinavian Medical Association (SSMO) was established in Gothenburg, Kingdom of Sweden, as a non-profit humanitarian and scientific organization, officially registered under Swedish law and committed to international humanitarian principles. The association was founded in response to the urgent need to enhance medical and scientific collaboration between Syrian healthcare professionals in Scandinavia and their counterparts in Syria, with the aim of supporting and developing the Syrian healthcare sector amid its significant challenges.

The SSMO was built on the values of humanitarian solidarity, professional excellence, and neutrality, free from any political or commercial affiliations. It serves as a bridge connecting Syrian medical expertise in the diaspora with their homeland, facilitating the transfer of medical knowledge and modern technologies to Syria.

Vision and Objectives

1. Promote scientific exchange between Syrian doctors and researchers in Scandinavia and Syria through workshops, conferences, and training programs.

2. Support the Syrian healthcare sector by providing medical equipment, medications, and humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable regions.

3. Build a strong professional network of Syrian medical professionals abroad to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

4. Advocate for the rights of healthcare workers and work to improve their working conditions both in Syria and abroad.

5. Enhance public health through awareness campaigns and preventive programs, particularly in mental health and care for displaced populations.

Headquarters and Organizational Structure

The SSMO is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and its membership includes Syrian physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and researchers based in Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland). The association relies on volunteer work and donations, ensuring full transparency in resource management in accordance with international standards.

Future Aspirations

· Establish a medical emergency fund to support hospitals and clinics in Syria during disasters.

· Develop an online platform to facilitate communication among Syrian medical experts worldwide.

· Form international partnerships with health and humanitarian organizations to implement sustainable projects in Syria.

· Contribute to rebuilding healthcare infrastructure and training local medical personnel.

Conclusion

The Syrian Scandinavian Medical Association represents a model of collective humanitarian action, uniting expertise and dedication to serve the Syrian people, transcending geographical and political boundaries. With a clear vision and the determination of its members, the SSMO seeks to be a vital contributor to the revival of Syria’s healthcare sector, relying on international support and the unwavering belief in Syrians’ ability to rebuild despite all challenges.
