Yesterday, I was part of a health sector field mission to visit Tebnin & Marji'yun hospitals. Our meeting with hospital management allowed us to understand the impact of the conflict on health systems in general. Hospital Directors requested urgent support to maintain services.

Lebanon remains among the countries in the region with the highest smoking prevalence. It's among the 6 countries worldwide where tobacco use is still on the rise, preventing it from achieving the global target of a 30% decrease in tobacco use. Promote tobacco-free Lebanon.
