Like all the centers of the Order of Malta, it incarnates the values of Love, Dignity and Tolerance by providing its services to all in an area of mixed religious affiliations. Located in a very sensitive area in the Beqaa, the Barqa center was built in 1985 after the sad assassination of Father Nicolas Kluiters, a Dutch Jesuit Priest who was very active in the area and expressed to the Order of Malta the need of opening a healthcare facility.
This Community Health Center covers more than 85 surrounding villages thanks to the work and dedication of the Sisters, it played a major role of resilience and peace between the population throughout the war and even until today.
What makes this center unique is the impact it made on the surrounding communities not only from a medical perspective, but most importantly on the economy as well as social and culture aspects of the villages thanks to irrigation work, educational materials, social sponsorship for families, it also has a sewing workshop that has been providing an income for more than 35 families for the past 25 years.
