Be the first backer

Bsaba, a village in Mount Lebanon, is located nearly 30 kilometers away from the closest hospital. The main problem that the inhabitants faced was that there were few or no ambulances around the area. 3,000 residents of the village were at risk every time there was an accident or an emergency.

UNDP Live Lebanon stepped in to provide the inhabitants of Bsaba a sense of security. With the generous contribution of Live Lebanon’s Goodwill Ambassador Mr. Ghaleb Farha and Waterfront City Cares, a fully equipped ambulance was provided with first aid assistance ensuring fast and effective transportation to the closest hospital. As of April 2013, Bsaba inhabitants were no longer at risk of the dangerous repercussions of not arriving to hospital on time in cases of emergency.
