General Information

WHO ARE WE?
S.O.S Emergency Aid Association is an international humanitarian aid organization established in Turkey that facilitates access to health services for populations affected by armed conflict, violence, natural disasters, disease, hunger, poverty and social exclusion. Our organization collaborates with partners and key stakeholders in implementing projects that facilitate access to primary and secondary health care services to respond to the medical needs of displaced people. S.O.S is an international association dedicated to meeting the health needs of vulnerable groups.
S.O.S, which intervenes in humanitarian crises from the closest point, builds the necessary infrastructures for long-term and sustainable health services and publishes international academic publications on human rights.

Mission and Objectives

What are we doing?
Due to its geography and current conditions, Turkey is at the center of humanitarian crises that erupted in the region. S.O.S provides protection and health services, builds infrastructure and advocates for the world's most vulnerable people in communities living in conflict zones, refugee camps and rural settlements without health care. However, as S.O.S, we provide psychological support and medical care to Syrian refugees in Turkey and struggle every day to touch the lives of people living at the borders. Health Needs The needs of all immigrant and refugee population, especially Syrians, regarding access to health are very high.
War trauma, exacerbated by the displacement and inadequate living conditions, has increased the sensitivity of Syrian refugees to health risks. Most of the Syrian refugees suffer from mental health and psycho-social problems as well as chronic diseases, physical injuries and/or various disabilities. Inadequate living conditions during or after the conflict and accompanying displacement can adversely affect the psycho-social situation of refugees ─ especially women, the elderly and children ─. Immigrants and refugees often have limited access to health services due to financial constraints, the language barrier and lack of knowledge about available services. In addition to these impossibilities, refugees living in rural areas face even more difficult conditions and almost no access to health services due to distance or financial constraints. S.O.S provides services at RSPSD centers in Hatay, focusing on practices and activities that address the most urgent needs of refugees and migrants.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We think that we will be useful in sharing information and experience, as we measure the follow-up on immigration and immigrants in the field. At the same time, we have a team of academicians experienced in EU projects, and we hope that we can get joint funds with you.
