"In Syria, I once asked a patient for informed consent," said Dr. Mohammad El Sherif, from LDHR Syria. "He looked at me and said, ‘Dr., I’m afraid, why are you respecting me so much? Do you need something from me?’” That’s what decades of dehumanisation do. #VoicesAgainstTorture

“Over 87% of communities in Syria lack access to any form of mental health or psychosocial support. This is not just a humanitarian gap, it’s a public duty we’re failing.” remarked Dr. Nabil Samarji from WHO Syria #VoicesAgainstTorture #MENAForum2025

What we need now is urgent investment: — in a regional roadmap ✅ — in trained personnel — in community-based care — in integrated mental health within primary healthcare and emergency systems…. #VoicesAgainstTorture #MENAForum2025
