HEALTH
PROGRAM
Syrian refugees in Lebanon face significant challenges in accessing healthcare. The high cost of treatment in hospitals and health centers remains a major barrier, along with a shortage of medical facilities and services, particularly in areas with large refugee populations. As a result, healthcare centers are often overcrowded, leading to delays in receiving medical care. Additionally, complex administrative procedures further hinder the registration process and access to essential health services.
These challenges are even more severe for the most vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women and survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), who require specialized medical services that are often either unavailable or unaffordable.
HEALTHCARE DISPENSARIES :
The FFC Dispensary offers free medical services to vulnerable Syrian refugees and the local Lebanese community through a specialized medical team and a committed humanitarian management. The dispensary features a general medicine clinic for patient consultations, diagnosis of chronic and seasonal illnesses, and treatment. It also includes dental clinics providing essential oral care, a laboratory offering comprehensive tests to support accurate diagnoses, and a first aid room for urgent and minor cases. The team is composed of doctors, licensed nurses, experienced lab technicians, and volunteers specializing in health awareness and psychosocial support, ensuring comprehensive and accessible care for those most in need.
mobile clinics :
In response to these needs, we launched the Primary Healthcare Project through mobile clinics, which included a general practitioner and a specialized team of nurses. The clinics played a vital role in addressing the healthcare needs of refugees in camps and residential communities, ensuring that every individual in need received proper medical care.
The mobile clinic traveled between shelters, camps, and residential complexes in the Beqaa area, providing over 3,000 medical consultations and distributing essential medications to patients. In total, we conducted 260 visits to various centers and housing units, contributing to improved healthcare access for the most vulnerable populations.
Healthcare Project: An Urgent Response to the Needs of Displaced Individuals:
The healthcare project was launched in response to the recent war in Lebanon, aiming to support displaced Syrians and Lebanese who were forced to flee from the heavily bombed areas of the South and Beqaa. As a result, many sought refuge in shelters, facing urgent humanitarian and medical needs.
As part of its humanitarian response, Frontliners for Change (FFC) established a shelter in the Beqaa region, providing essential supplies to displaced families. One of the key services offered was healthcare, delivered through mobile clinics that addressed the medical needs of individuals across various shelters.
