Episode 104: Healing Amidst Chaos: Medical Care in the Lebanese War
Manage episode 449501302 series 3609908
In this episode co-hosted with Dr. MohammadAli Jardali, we discuss with Dr. Hasan Ismail, a family medicine physician whose clinic was in the Southern suburbs of Beirut and a medical advisor for Medecins du Monde, the critical topic of medical care during the recent Lebanese war. We explore the challenges face by healthcare professionals and institutions during this conflict.
Given Dr. Ismail is intimately involved in the conflict having family who have been displaced due to the crisis, we approach the conflict from a different lens. We explore his experience providing free health care to the community of displaced persons, while himself being displaced with his family. We also delve into the needs of the displaced families having lost their houses, and medical supplies.
This episode shows the effects wars have on people who were leading normal lives and whose lives have been turned upside down overnight.
