Dr. Rola Hallam – The Syrian Doctor Healing Hearts in War

In a world full of noise, bombs, and broken lives, Dr. Rola Hallam chooses healing.
She is a Syrian-British doctor, an activist, and a soft-spoken warrior.
While others run from danger, she walks toward it—with medicine, compassion, and hope.

Her Early Life – Born to Save Lives

Rola was born in Damascus, Syria, into a family of doctors.
She saw suffering up close. But she also saw her father bring life back into broken bodies.
Inspired by that, she moved to the UK and became a consultant anaesthetist in the NHS.

But when war tore Syria apart in 2011, Rola couldn’t look away.
According to www.america112.com, she left her job and returned to help those no one else would.

Notable Works – What She’s Done That Changed Lives

Here are some of Dr. Rola Hallam’s most powerful achievements:

In 2017, Rola and her team raised over $250,000 to build a children’s hospital in northern Syria.
This was the first crowdfunded hospital ever in a war zone.
It treated over 10,000 people in its first year.

🩺 2. Founding CanDo

She founded CanDo, a social enterprise that supports local healthcare workers in conflict zones.
It helps people on the ground—those who know their communities best—save lives.
It’s a model of empowerment over dependency.
