I am a Syrian refugee. Can I go to a doctor or a hospital in Lebanon?
Yes. UNHCR provides health care services to registered refugees through its partners.
Registered Syrian refugees can see a doctor at a Primary Health Care Centre (“PHCc”) or a Health Centre (“dispensary”) for medical consultations, prescriptions, laboratory tests, immunizations, antenatal care and other reproductive health services, management of chronic diseases. You can also receive mental health treatment, including counseling and other psychological support services.
You should only go to hospital in a medical emergency.
If you need to see a doctor you should go to the PHCc, dispensaries that are listed at the end of this brochure. If you go to another PHCc or dispensary they may charge you more for your treatment. In a medical emergency, call MediVisa Lebanon 01-811310/315/316/317 (Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm) or for North 03-011481/79-199116 (only after working hours, Sundays and public holidays). Other phone numbers listed in this brochure will give you information about health and social support, if you are a victim of sexual assault or violence or for any other emergency.
