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!

Our latest episode of The Lebanese Physicians' Podcast discussing the role of the European Commission and the French Development Agency (AFD) as donors in promoting the development of a strong primary healthcare system in the country. This episode, which was co-hosted by Dr. MohammadAli Jardaly and Dr. Vlad Chaddad (Regional Health Advisor for the International Rescue Committee in the MENA region), our guests were Madhuri Severgnini (Health Program Manager for the European Commission in Lebanon), and Rouba El-Khatib (Health Program Manager at the Agence Francaise de Developpement).
In this episode, we discussed how the role of the EU delegation and the AFD has transformed from primarily development related to ensuring citizens of Lebanon and Syrian refugees have equitable access to quality primary healthcare through supporting NGOs on the ground offering these services. We discuss how they are trying to align their goals with those of the Ministry of Public Health and their vision in making these primary health organizations self-sufficient in the future. We also discuss how their donor programs had initially started to support the Syrian refugees in Lebanon, but recently have transformed to supporting an increasing number of Lebanese citizens who are in dire need for these services.
