Given the current events in Lebanon, Lebanese physicians working there have been in the news extensively lately. Some have chosen to leave in search of a more stable life; some have chosen to stay, and some have chosen not to move back to Lebanon in the first place. We will interview Lebanese physicians working in Lebanon and beyond to get their opinions about the events taking place in Lebanon, the future of medicine in Lebanon, and the role Lebanese physicians play worldwide in their respective fields, and their connections to their home county. We will highlight success stories, stories that were not so successful, and everything in between. Medical students, physicians-in-training, and attending physicians at different points in their careers will be interviewed. We hope you will find this podcast beneficial and exciting!

In this special episode, we sit down with Dr. Jackie Kassouf Maalouf, founder of DiaLeb to commemorate World Diabetes Day. DiaLeb is the National Diabetes Organization. It was founded in 2011 as a non-profit organization in Lebanon to promote diabetes care and prevention and help find a cure for this disease.
We explore the impact of diabetes on communities in Lebanon before and after the economic crisis and we discuss the importance of lifestyle modification as a preventative measure for type 2 diabetes. We also discuss the multiple projects that DiaLeb has been involved in promoting exercise and nutrition, and helping provide needed medications to people suffering from diabetes in Lebanon.
Tune in for this enlightening conversation which was recorded before the current war in Lebanon, but which provides hope for a bright future in Lebanon.
