## About

AI-powered medical assistant for clinicians with evidence-based research and clinical guidelines

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026: one subdomain returns an "Access denied" page from Syrian IPs, the main site loads but the AI assistant returns a usage-limit message, and account registration requires a VPN. A community volunteer emailed the company in March 2026 requesting access; no response has been received.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-29 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed OpenEvidence at contact@openevidence.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 OFAC sanctions lift and EU sanctions removal, included links to official U.S. Treasury documentation, and noted that several other companies have already restored access.
- 2026-03-29 — Investigated. Community testing found that OpenEvidence is partially blocked in Syria. Accessing the subdomain th.openevidence.com from a Syrian IP returns an "Access denied" error page indicating the request was blocked for geographic or security reasons. The main site at openevidence.com/as loads and displays the interface, but the AI assistant returns a "We are experiencing high demand and are temporarily limiting usage" message, and account registration requires a VPN.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
