Informal healthcare provision in Lebanon: An adaptive mechanism among displaced Syrian health professionals in a protracted crisis
Our study confirmed the presence of IHCWs operating in Lebanon. Despite its informal nature, participants perceived that this practice was filling a gap in the formal health system and was helping to alleviate the burden of IHCWs and refugee health needs. In line with interviewees' views, we recommend that policy decision makers within humanitarian agencies and the Government of Lebanon explore the possibilities for allowing temporary registratio…
Prevalence and correlates of food insecurity among Lebanese households with children aged 4–18 years: Findings from a national cross-sectional study

The present study aimed to measure the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of household FI and to explore the association of household FI with anthropometric measures of children and their mothers. Design Cross-sectional survey …
Household food insecurity is associated with a higher burden of obesity and risk of dietary inadequacies among mothers in Beirut, Lebanon
