This conference presentation delves into the intricate landscape of transnational families within the specific context of Syrian refugees in Turkey. Focusing on their well-being, the health policies implemented by the Turkish government, and the reception of these policies by the local population, the study offers a qualitative perspective on the experiences of Syrians living in İstanbul, Turkey. The qualitative research draws on interviews conducted with Syrian refugees, healthcare professionals operating in centers catering to Syrians, and residents of districts in Istanbul predominantly inhabited by Syrians. Through these narratives, the presentation aims to shed light on the nuanced dimensions of the transnational Syrian experience in Turkey. Key areas of exploration include the conceptualization of well-being among Syrian refugees, their interactions with the Turkish healthcare system, and the impact of government health policies on their overall health. Additionally, the study examines the social dynamics within Turkish communities, exploring how the local population responds to the presence of Syrian refugees and the policies designed to support their health and well-being. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by transnational families, specifically Syrians in Turkey, and offer insights into the effectiveness of health policies in meeting their diverse needs. The presentation ultimately seeks to stimulate discussions on refining existing policies, fostering social cohesion, and enhancing the resilience of both Syrian refugees and the communities hosting them in the dynamic landscape of global migration.
