The third component, restoring and modernizing hospital care in line with reform direction will support the restoration and strengthening of service delivery in hospitals that are facing capacity constraints due to war damage (for example, hospitals that were damaged after attacks) or due to increased demand for their services (for example, hospitals in areas with a high concentration of internally displaced persons). The fourth component supporting capacity-building, digitalization, and innovations will support sustainability of key health institutions and strengthening of ongoing digitalization projects.
