A signing ceremony between NGO Loubnaniyoun and the Lebanese Health Ministry to launch the “Citizens’ Rights” project has been held on Tuesday in order to improve citizens’ access to health services and strengthen people's trust and confidence in their public health institutions.
The US Ambassador to Lebanon, Elizabeth H. Richard, said in her speech that "the Ministry’s National e-Health Program is an innovative new approach to improving the quality of healthcare in Lebanon and increasing access to cutting edge healthcare information for every Lebanese citizen, no matter in which country they live."
"The US government is supporting this effort through the Loubnaniyoun organization. They will create a mobile application to enable citizens to access, apply for, and receive approvals for over 100 essential public health services," she added.
"Loubnaniyoun will work with the Ministry’s staff through the development, operation, launch, and promotion phases of the initiative. They will also pay particular attention to ensuring that remote or underprivileged communities can access the application. Upon the project’s completion, Loubnaniyoun will hand over the application to the Ministry, which will ensure the sustainability of these new operations and services", Richard concluded.
