Arrival of the third container and dispatching of medical supplies

The situation in Lebanon has affected the community around each and everyone of us; and it is with great pleasure that ELMS was the center of a musical event cohosted by one of our own (Jihad El Ghaoui, a doctor in Belfort). The concert was held to gather donations for ELMS. Franche Comté is a very dynamic region that continues to suprise us with its solidarity with Lebanon. Around 300 people attended and 7000€ were gathered in the concert. This money will allow the purchase and transportation of medical equipment to Lebanon.

The ELMS has successfully ensured 60000€ worth of genrous donations of factor X (Octaplex) from Octapharma. This consequent action was made possible by the efforts of Ghassan Riachi in Rouen’s hospital. The medication was transported with the help of the Lebanese embassy in France to Beirut and distributed in a touching gathering in the Lebanese Hemophilia Association Headquarters. An agreement of continuous help and support was signed between ELMS’president and the association’s.

The ELMS gathered essential medication (treating chronic illnesses) and distributed them to Dr Hector Hajjar who works with people with special needs throughout Lebanon.

For a healthy Lebanon

We are happy to announce that our humanitarian committee was able to get more and more help to send out to Lebanon soon. Ghassan Riachi worked hard to ensure that thousands of essential medication boxes were donated to ELMS by the CHU of Rouen. We are grateful!

Our humanitarian committee has received a donation for the amount of 3000€ from Soroptimist. Thanks to them and to the efforts of @⁨Jihad El Ghaoui⁩ we will be able to increase the help we are providing to our fellow Lebanese citizens. For a healthier Lebanon.
