**MdM in Lebanon**

MdM has been present in Lebanon for nearly 30 years, adapting its interventions to the country’s successive crises and evolving humanitarian and health needs. In a context marked by prolonged socioeconomic challenges, pressure on the health system and the consequences of the ongoing conflict, MdM works to ensure access to quality healthcare for vulnerable populations while supporting and strengthening the Lebanese health system.

MdM currently supports access to primary healthcare through partnerships with Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCCs) across the country and provides emergency health services, including through mobile medical activities in South Lebanon. Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) is a core component of MdM’s approach and is integrated across its health interventions. The mission also works on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV), and access to comprehensive and rights-based healthcare.

The Lebanon mission has a coordination team based in Beirut, with field teams supporting programme implementation in Beirut, South Lebanon and Baalbek-Hermel.
