Background
The Syrian Civil War forcibly displaced 6.6 million people, most significantly in Turkey and Lebanon. 75% of this population are women and children [1].
Refugees experience poorer health outcomes, in part due to demand-side (language discordance, discrimination) and supply-side (insurance coverage, organisational weakness) barriers to care access [2].
Aim: identify and compare access barriers for resettled female Syrian refugees, including the impacts of differing health policies, in Turkey and Lebanon.
