Nicoletta Bombardiere, Ambassador of Italy in Lebanon, said, “The goal of the Italian Cooperation is to contribute to global health by promoting universal health coverage, equity and access to health for all. Strengthening the public health system and improving quality health services are key examples of our strategy in this sector in Lebanon.”
Alessandra Piermattei, Director of Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), Beirut, said, “For the Italian Cooperation, health is an essential aspect of the social and economic development of the population. For this reason, we consider access to medicine and health care very important in the current difficult context in Lebanon.”
The Government of Italy has always been at the forefront of supporting the Lebanese people by providing generous contributions to strengthen the health system, in terms of governance and infrastructure and to improve the quality of care, especially emergency care.
The Government of Italy also provided an emergency donation of pediatric cancer medications to the value of 500 000 Euros that were delivered to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health through WHO.
