The St. Ephrem Health Care Center
Needs Your Help to Save Lives
The St. Ephrem Health Care Center has been operating a dispensary for many years, but due to various challenges, its progress has stagnated. To address this, we at A Demand For Action (ADFA) have pledged to support the Syriac League. We have successfully gathered a dedicated team of doctors and dentists, and with the generous contributions of our donors, we will cover almost all of the expenses associated with St. Ephrem. Additionally, we are planning to send medical equipment from Sweden to further enhance their capabilities.
Lebanon is currently facing severe economic challenges, including the world's highest inflation rate. The majority of Lebanese citizens lack access to healthcare. Furthermore, approximately 2,500 Christian families have sought refuge in Lebanon after fleeing terrorism in Iraq and Syria. These families are dealing with extremely difficult circumstances.
St. Ephrem Health Care Center provides primary care services for a nominal fee of only $1 USD per appointment, and thanks to the Syriac League's agreement with USAID, they can also provide free medication to those in need. We are extremely proud of the committed team we have put together, and we believe their expertise will have a significant impact on the lives of thousands of people in need.
The monthly costs for St. Ephrem's Health Care Centre are currently $2,000 USD. By contributing to this cause, you will help us expand our reach and positively impact the lives of many patients in need. We kindly ask for your assistance in this critical endeavour. Together, we can broaden our reach and provide critical healthcare services to even more people who desperately need it.
A list of required equipment is included below. We kindly ask that you review the list, and we would be extremely grateful for any donation you can make, no matter how small. Every donation, whether a box of Tongue Depressors, a thermometer, or even a defibrillator, will make a difference.
