WHO launches Central Drug Warehouse reconstruction initiative

“Today we launched the masterplan to rebuild the central warehouse with an additional 1000 m2 capacity. The warehouse serves a large segment of the population. It will be equipped according to international standards and will adhere to WHO’s good storage practices,” said Dr Iman Shankiti, WHO Representative in Lebanon.

The reconstruction will be carried out under the supervision of WHO with funds from the Government of Japan, the State of Kuwait and WHO direct funding. The project will take 6 to 8 months to complete.
