Population health observatory
Annual national health indicators for Syria: life expectancy, child and maternal mortality, immunization coverage, health workforce and beds, and disease burden—signals of the health system’s recovery from one trusted source.
These indicators come entirely from the WHO Global Health Observatory as national, both-sexes annual values. They sketch the health system's stress and slow recovery — not a governorate or facility picture, and each series carries its own latest year.

After a decade of gains, coverage of the two headline childhood vaccines fell in the latest year — a change worth watching before it becomes a trend. The chart compares both vaccines across the last two years from the same source; co-movement is not a stated cause.
Filter the period from the filter bar, then download the annual table from any chart menu as CSV or Excel. A blank means the source published no value, not zero.

Reference years differ between indicators, so read each by its own latest period rather than as one synchronized snapshot.
Corrections with a source or reference are the fastest to act on. Contact details are optional.
