Episode 101: The Role of Primary Care in the Lebanese Crisis with Dr Umayya Musharafieh

In this episode co-hosted with MohammadAli Jardali, we discussed the current crisis in Lebanon with the Chief of the Family Medicine Department at AUBMC Dr. Umayya Musharafieh. The current crisis has led to 1.2 million people displaced in Lebanon which constitutes 25-30% of the country. Many healthcare workers have been directly affected by this displacement or their families have been affected. Primary care is playing a major role in addressing these issues by taking care of the acute injuries and the post injury care, and by going out to the schools and areas where the refugees are providing needed medications and perfoming preventive care.
