Through ECHOโ€™s support, the programme helps ensure timely access to life- and limb-saving hospital care for vulnerable patients, including those wounded during the conflict, while strengthening hospitalsโ€™ capacity to deliver essential emergency and trauma services.

๐Ÿšญ Safe care means protecting everyone from preventable harm. Many people in Lebanon use more than one tobacco product, including cigarettes and arguileh. At the same time, exposure to second-hand smoke remains high, whether at home and in public spaces.

Protecting mothers takes more than health servicesโ€”it takes trusted information. @mophleb, WHO Lebanon & @UNFPALebanon brought together maternal health experts and media professionals to shape Lebanonโ€™s national Safe Motherhood campaign. The media is a partner from the start.

From recognizing danger signs to knowing when and where to seek care, the right information can help women make informed decisions at critical moments. Media professionals can help turn evidence into messages that are clear, compassionate and relevant to women and families.
