Timeframe: February 2, 2009 – July 31, 2009
Grant Amount: $ 4,900

The lives of patients in the Bekaa are put at risk due to the ill treatment they receive in the local hospitals and health centers. Health services are offered selectively and reluctantly. Fake lists of operations and patients are presented by the hospitals to the Ministry of Health to request illegal funds. This project’s aim is to inform the citizens about their right to be hospitalized in governmental health facilities regardless of their background and about the operations that are covered by the Ministry of Health so they will be able to ask for them. This will be achieved through posters placed in the hospitals and health centers
