Syrian doctors are working to rebuild the country's long-neglected forensic medicine infrastructure as the nation grapples with hundreds of thousands of missing persons. The initiative represents a critical step toward addressing one of Syria's most pressing humanitarian challenges following years of conflict.
The forensic medicine system in Syria has suffered significant deterioration during the prolonged conflict, leaving families without means to identify missing relatives. Rebuilding this infrastructure is essential for providing closure to families and establishing accountability for human rights violations.
