Equipping Marjeyoun Public Hospital with gastro-colonoscopy system

Thanks to the generous donations of Lebanese expatriates, LIVE LEBANON has been able to support the Governmental Hospital of Marjeyoun by the provision of a colonoscopy system.

The delivery of the colonoscopy system was promptly executed following the funding of the project. Click on the photos below to follow the implementation process and discover the introduction of the local medical staff with the new equipment.

Since November 2010, residents of Marjeyoun and Hasbaya can effectively enjoy improved medical services.

Where

South, Marjeyoun
Who

All the inhabitants of Marjeyoun and Hasbaya Cazas benefit from the improved facilities of the Marjeyoun Governmental Hospital.
Why

The area of Marjeyoun includes more than 7 villages. Marjeyoun Governmental Hospital is the only public facility closest to residents to seek any medical attention. The hospital, however, does not have adequate equipment to accommodate patient medical needs for consultation and treatment. Thousands of residents are under the risk of becoming ill, and unfortunately, their nearest hospital is not appropriately equipped. Locals have to drive to Nabatiye, the closest city an hour away.
How

Through your support, LIVE LEBANON provides the hospital with a gastro-colonoscopy machine to assist hospital staff in improving the health services locals receive. Such a machine is crucial especially during the time of medical emergencies.

Project Conclusion

Success Stories

Marjeyoun Governmental Hospital in South Lebanon is the only public facility available for more than 10 villages within the Marjeyoun area.

The hospital, however, did not possess adequate equipment to accommodate all patients’ medical needs in terms of consultation and treatment, which resulted in locals having to drive an hour to Nabatiye, the closest city to examine and treat certain medical conditions.

In October 2012, through the generous support of Abraaj Capital and Goodwill Ambassador Mr. Ghaleb Farha, the UNDP initiative Live Lebanon was able to provide the hospital with a Gastro-Colonoscopy machine, allowing patients with digestive problems from Marjeyoun and Hasbaya Caza to be treated at the Marjeyoun Governmental Hospital.

“This system installation helped the hospital attend the patients’ needs. Everyone in the hospital is so happy because of this very important support”

Thousands of inhabitants at Marjeyoun and Hasbaya Caza can now benefit from the improved public facility at Marjeyoun Governmental Hospital.
