Integrating noncommunicable disease care in a public primary health care facility in North Lebanon
Integrated care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) may enhance care delivery, clinical impact, user-satisfaction, and access. However, evidence on integrated NCD care in humanitarian settings remains scarce. This qualitative study accompanied the first year of implementation (March 2023 to March 2024) of an integrated care programme at an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)-supported, Ministry of Public Health-affiliated primary hea…
Maximizing older people’s access to primary health care centers in Lebanon
Limited access of older people to primary health care is a pressing issue in resource-constrained countries, particularly in Lebanon, amid the ongoing crisis. The co-design research approach is instrumental in addressing this problem, as it draws on people’s experiences to generate practical and sustainable solutions. Using the design thinking framework, this co-design study involved 13 older people, family members, and primary healthcare service…
Patient experiences of diabetes and hypertension care during an evolving humanitarian crisis in Lebanon
Humanitarian health care models increasingly incorporate care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Current research evidence focuses on burden of disease, service provision and access to care, and less is known about patient’s experience of the continuum of care in humanitarian settings. To address this gap, this study explored experiences of displaced Syrian and vulnerable Lebanese patients receiving care for hypertension and/or diabetes at fou…
Maternal health outcomes in the context of fragility
This study suggests the need for low-cost interventions aiming at enhancing access to ANC services, especially among pregnant women in fragile settings
The determinants of the quality of clinical management among diabetic and hypertensive patients in a context of fragility
Introduction: The management of NCDs is a growing challenge in low- and middle-income settings with the increasing prevalence and the associated demands that such conditions make on health systems. Fragile settings both exacerbate the risk of NCDs and undermine systems capacity. Lebanon is a setting where strategies to address rising NCDs burden have faced particularly acute contextual challenges. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey wi…
Conducting operational research in humanitarian settings
In humanitarian contexts, it is a difficult and multi-faceted task to enlist academics, humanitarian actors and health authorities in a collaborative research effort. The lack of research in such settings has been widely described in the past decade, but few have analysed the challenges in building strong and balanced research partnerships. The major issues include considering operational priorities, ethical imperatives and power differentials. T…
Utilization of primary health care services among Syrian refugee and Lebanese women targeted by the ICRC program in Lebanon
Despite the ICRC reaching the most vulnerable Syrian and Lebanese communities, the population-based survey revealed that important gaps exist in terms of utilization of health care services among women of reproductive age and their children. A stronger outreach component is needed to address lack of awareness. Innovative solutions are also needed to address cost barriers at the levels of both facility and individual user
Vaccination coverage in Lebanon following the Syrian crisis
Substantial variability exists in vaccination coverage among children aged 12-59 months residing in different districts in Lebanon. Immunization coverage reached 90% or above only for the first doses of polio and pentavalent vaccines. A considerable dropout rate from the first dose of any vaccine is observed. Efforts to optimize coverage levels should include increased vaccination initiatives targeting both refugee children and children from vuln…
Assessing the impact of the Lebanese National Polio Immunization Campaign using a population-based computational model
Both surveillance and immunization efforts should be maintained at high standards in Lebanon and other countries in the area to detect and limit any potential outbreak. The use of computational population simulation models can provide a quantitative approach to assess the impact of immunization campaigns and the burden of infectious diseases even in the context of population migration
Investigating the job satisfaction of healthcare providers at primary healthcare centres in Lebanon
Low job satisfaction is linked to higher staff turnover and intensified shortages in healthcare providers (HCP). This study investigates the level of, and factors associated with, HCP job satisfaction in the national primary healthcare (PHC) network in Lebanon. The study adopts a cross-sectional design to survey HCP at 99 PHC centres distributed across the country between October 2013 and May 2014. The study questionnaire consisted of four sectio…
Health system resilience
BACKGROUND: Between 2011 and 2013, the Lebanese population increased by 30% due to the influx of Syrian refugees. While a sudden increase of such magnitude represents a shock to the health system, threatening the continuity of service delivery and destabilizing governance, it also offers a unique opportunity to study resilience of a health system amidst ongoing crisis. METHODS: We conceptualized resilience as the capacity of a health system to ab…
