The Syrian Center for Policy Research in cooperation with the Arab NGO Network for Development prepared the paper “Devastating of the Right to Health during the Syrian Conflict” as part of the Arab Watch Report on Economic and Social Rights 2023 on the Right to Health. It aims to assess the right to health during the conflict in Syria. The paper uses the political economy approach to deepen the understanding of power relations in conflicts through analyzing the context of war, mapping the key actors, analyzing the policies and interventions, and assesses the impact of different factors on populations’ capabilities and opportunities. This paper reads public health as a basic human right and as an aspect of human capability within the political, social, and economic context in the time of armed conflict in Syria. The paper analyzed the impact of conflict dynamics on the right to health through the assessment of health outcomes, impact on the health system, and health related policies in the time of conflict.
