Medical care for vulnerable populations in Lebanon

Dear Friends,

We are glad to let you know that INSAN is continuing to provide the most vulnerable communities in different regions in Lebanon with basic medical and mental health support,

In fact, in the last trimester, INSAN was able to reach 81 adults and 44 children with its mobile medical unit in the suburbs of mount Lebanon and Bekaa Valley. Insan’s mobile medical unit was able to provide basic medical assessment and support to the most vulnerable people in remote areas, who otherwise would have not received any medical attention or support, after the assessment INSAN either provided direct service by providing them with over-the-counter medication or referred the patients to nearby dispensaries, clinics or hospitals on a case-by-case basis. In case of referrals, INSAN’s social workers continue to follow up with both the beneficiary and the party where the referral was made to, to make sure that the full service was received.

Moreover, INSAN also continued to support the beneficiaries in need of mental health through the provision of group therapy sessions both for adults and for children, in addition to that individual therapy sessions were also provided whenever there was a need for it. As for severe cases, where a more in dept intervention was needed, INSAN referred the patient to specialized psychiatric clinics and organizations and we continued to follow up and asses the situation.

It is thanks to you generous support that INSAN was able to continue to carry on its support for the most marginalized and in need communities in Lebanon, so for that we are very thankful and grateful.

Warm Regards,

INSAN TEAM

Despite all the challenges faced in the country specially on the security and safety levels, INSAN continued to proved health and medical support to the most marginalized and vulnerable communities in Beirut, Mount Lebanon and the Bekaa, we were unable to access the south of Lebanon a lot because of the security treats.

With the mobile medical unit, INSAN was able to visit remote villages and assist more than 200 people in need of medical support through consultations, referrals and provision of basic medication.

INSAN’s targeted communities are not able or not willing to access regular medical institutions for various reasons; most notably : lack of awareness, lack of identifying documentation, lack of resources, etc… therefore, INSAN has been their safety net for all their medical and health needs.

With your generous support, we were able to continue to conduct our visits and assist these communities, without which they would be encountering serious health issues.

Thank you for your generosity and thank you for always caring for the people most in need.
