Illness and death

President Al-Assad's health began to deteriorate in late 1983 due to his diabetes and varicose veins. He was taken to Al-Shami Hospital in Damascus and placed under intensive care. Then he transferred his powers during his absence to a committee consisting of five members from his close circle.
