In Jordan, SAMS’ children’s group sessions give children a safe space to explore their feelings, understand their emotions, and learn healthy ways to cope. 🤍

Through play, activities, and connection, children practice simple skills like breathing and relaxation, expressing their feelings, and navigating difficult moments.

We don’t teach children to stop feeling. We help them understand what they feel, cope with it, and know they’re not alone. Because helping children understand themselves today helps build a stronger, more secure future tomorrow.

At Omar Bin Abdulaziz Hospital in Aleppo, SAMS’ Return & Rebuild Mission brought advanced cardiac expertise closer to patients, providing specialized interventions for complex heart conditions.

But the mission’s impact went beyond the procedures. Our medical volunteers also worked alongside resident physicians through hands-on training and knowledge exchange, helping strengthen local capacity to provide advanced cardiac care long after the mission ends.

Care for patients today. Expertise that carries forward tomorrow.

🤍 During SAMS’ Return & Rebuild Mission, our physicians performed a series of advanced cardiac electrophysiology procedures at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Damascus, providing specialized care for patients with complex heart rhythm disorders using advanced treatment techniques.

These procedures helped expand access to specialized cardiac care within Syria, giving patients access to interventions that may otherwise require traveling abroad or waiting for limited treatment opportunities.

Beyond treating patients, the mission also helped bring advanced techniques and specialized expertise in cardiac electrophysiology to local healthcare teams, strengthening their ability to provide complex rhythm care in Syria.
