Syrian Arab Republic has a population of 18.5 million and is classified in the lower middle income group. Diabetes mortality shows higher rates among older adults, with significant deaths attributed to high blood glucose levels. Disease burden includes high proportions from cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and respiratory diseases, with diabetes contributing 6% of deaths. Prevalence of diabetes among adults is 11.9% nationally, driven by high overweight and obesity rates, especially in females. No operational policies for diabetes or related risk factors exist, guidelines are available but not implemented, and key healthcare resources like diabetes registries and glucose monitoring are unavailable. Medical availability for diabetes management in primary care is limited, with only basic insulin provision but no blood glucose measurement or HbA1c testing.
