WHO continues its support to health system resilience
The EU continues its support to WHO to reinforce health system resilience through the EU neighborhood project “Enhancing access to non-communicable diseases and mental health services at the level of primary health care for vulnerable Syrian refugees and Lebanese communities in Lebanon response to the Syrian crisis”. This 2.4 million euros project will be implemented by WHO Lebanon, and aims to enhance access to non-communicable diseases and mental health services at the level of primary healthcare (PHC) for vulnerable Syrian refugees and Lebanese communities in Lebanon. Sufficient supplies of chronic medications will be made available at 440 PHC centers that participate in the MOPH/YMCA program of chronic medications. And at least 30 PHC centers within the MoPH, PHC network will have fully integrated mental health services with a referral and monitoring system in place. A mental health registry system will also be developed and piloted.
