This project, co-financed by Agence Française de Developpement (AFD) and the IF Foundation, and implemented by the European Institute for Cooperation and Development (IECD), aims to substantially strengthen the skills of healthcare professionals within Lebanon's public health structures.
In his speech, the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Firass El Abiad, emphasized "the importance of this program lies in its expansion to include 12 public hospitals, after initially starting with four hospitals, with the aim of training healthcare professionals so they can provide the necessary services to our citizens, especially the most vulnerable segments of Lebanese society. This program is funded by the French Development Agency to the tune of six million euros and is implemented by the European Institute for Cooperation and Development in Lebanon."
