Project description:

In Lebanon, Medair is currently implementing a health project with funding from the Government of Canada-IHA and EU-MADAD.  The aim of the project is to provide Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese access to life-saving primary health care in Social Development Centre (SDC) clinics and promote behavior change through the Community Health Program, facilitated by Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) and Community Midwives (CMW) in the Bekaa Valley. 

Medair, in close coordination with MOSA, is currently supporting seven clinics in Central, West and North Bekaa with focus on mother and child health, in addition to mental health and psychosocial support, through the provision of human resources, medicines, equipment, capacity building and supportive supervision to each of the clinics.

Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) in the SDC catchment area deliver a community health promotion package and  have been trained on relevant health topics including exclusive breastfeeding, family planning, essential maternal and newborn care, early marriage, lice and scabies treatment and referral systems. Community midwives provide antenatal care, postnatal care and family planning.
