Mehad (ex-UOSSM France)

Founded in January 2012 in France, the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM) is a coalition of humanitarian, non-governmental, and medical organizations from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Turkey. Member organizations pool their resources and coordinate joint projects to provide independent and impartial relief and medical care to victims of war in Syria. UOSSM chapters work under a unified strategic framework to increase the effectiveness of the humanitarian response in areas of crisis.

UOSSM provides humanitarian and medical assistance to all Syrian victims of war regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or political affiliation.

UOSSM France is entering a turning point in its history. After 11 years of humanitarian and medical commitment in Syria, UOSSM France is undergoing a transformation by changing its name and visual identity. Staying focused on its vision and missions, it chooses the independence of its action and governance to coordinate and implement its health programs. To better respond to the needs of populations in a sustainable manner and include health issues in a broader vision of development, our NGO becomes Mehad.
