Healthcare

The community health centers lie at the heart of the Order of Malta Lebanon’s mission, driven by the belief that ensuring primary health at the community level can significantly reduce the risks of untreated illnesses, especially in underserved populations facing financial or logistical barriers. OML operates 11 community healthcare centers across Lebanon’s governorates, focusing on rural, isolated, and conflict-affected areas. These centers offer a comprehensive range of services, including medical consultations, mental health support, and social services, ensuring accessible, inclusive, and sustainable care for all populations, including displaced groups.

OML’s healthcare model prioritizes prevention, with an emphasis on early screenings, health awareness, and proactive interventions. The centers address physical, mental, and social well-being through holistic services, building strong connections with local populations. The centers feature medicine dispensaries replenished regularly from OML’s central warehouse in Ain El Remmaneh, and consultations are provided at minimal or no cost based on individual health assessments.

What sets OML’s community health centers apart is their patient-centered care, transparent operations, and constant monitoring and evaluation. The centers are committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care while integrating innovative solutions like digital health tools and telemedicine to meet growing healthcare demands.
