Our Projects

In 2015, our team was commissioned as consultants by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to conduct a critical assessment of maternal and newborn referral systems in Lebanon.

Our contribution focused on evaluating the effectiveness of referral pathways between primary health care centers (PHCs) and public hospitals, particularly for emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmOCNC), in a context of growing health needs and strained infrastructure.

In 2021, our team was commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) to conduct a retrospective medical assessment of individuals injured during the Beirut Port explosion on August 4, 2020. The study aimed to document clinical outcomes, impairments, and potential disabilities among victims, using hospital records from 16 healthcare facilities in Greater Beirut and Mount Lebanon. This work was critical to understanding the nature of trauma sustained, the extent of long-term disability, and the capacity of Lebanon’s hospital system to manage mass casualty incidents during an unprecedented crisis.

Following the devastating Beirut Port explosion on August 4, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) commissioned a rapid assessment of the hospitals most affected by the blast. This assessment aimed to evaluate the extent of structural, functional, and non-structural damage across five major hospitals, identify critical repair needs, and estimate reconstruction costs. The findings informed WHO’s emergency health system recovery strategy in Lebanon.
