Turkish Trauma & Emergency Hospital in Saida

MSF have supported the Turkish Trauma & Emergency Hospital in Saida since November 2024.

Originally constructed in 2010, the Turkish Trauma & Emergency Hospital was newly opened in November 2024 after the escalation of conflict in Lebanon. It specializes in treatment of trauma and burn victims.

Our teams manage its emergency room, two operating theatres and one inpatient department with 22 beds. We also provide technical support for infection prevention and control mechanisms, train #MoH nurses on acute trauma management, and donate fuel and medical supplies.

So far, our medical staff in the hospital have delivered 82 ER consultations and performed 18 surgical interventions. Most had been injuries caused by Israeli bombardments prior to the ceasefire announcement. Two cases were related to a motorcycle accident.

Additional Information / Shotlist Since the escalation of the conflict in Lebanon, MSF has been providing primary healthcare and essential relief items for thousands of people displaced by insecurity and Israeli bombardments across the country.

Between September and the announcement of a ceasefire on November 27th, MSF deployed 22 medical mobile units, offering primary healthcare, essential medications, and psychological care across the country. Additionally, we provided more than 24.7 million liters of water to shelters and distributed around 32,000 hygiene kits, along with relief items such as mattresses and blankets as winter approached.

However, the needs continue. Thousands of families remain displaced, unable to return home or finding their homes destroyed and damaged. MSF remains committed to supporting these communities through ongoing medical and humanitarian assistance.
