AR- Infographic Médecins Sans Frontières response for Migrant workers health needs in Lebanon

Since 2020 during COVID-19 pandemic, realizing that the crisis has severely affected migrant workers, we adapted our operations to include services for this already vulnerable community facing immense barriers in accessing the health care system in Lebanon. Our medical team is supported by community health promoters of various nationalities to help us engage with communities and gain a clear understanding of the various migrant workers’ cultures and health-seeking behaviours so that we can provide them with better-adapted services. Our social workers also make referrals to a network of external partners to complete the package of care; this cover needs such as hospital care and basic needs. In 2024, this clinic closed, and the services were merged into another medical facility run by MSF, in the northern outskirts of Beirut.
