We recommend that humanitarian actors continue the work underway with the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health to align with and strengthen health system inputs, including supporting health governance through the accreditation process, exploring new funding mechanisms, strengthening the workforce via task sharing and training, supporting the medication supply chain, improving access to facilities and service quality, and supporting the development, standardisation and interoperability of referral and information systems. In combination, these elements will support better CoC for people living with hypertension and diabetes in Lebanon
