An official signing ceremony for the PARAMED project (Project for Supporting Healthcare Personnel Skills in the Public Sector in Lebanon) took place at the Ministry of Public Health on Monday. The ceremony was chaired by Health Minister Firass Abiad and attended by a delegation from the French Ministry of Health.
The PARAMED project aims to bolster the skills and increase the number of healthcare workers in Lebanon’s public health institutions. Co-funded with six million euros by the French Development Agency (AFD) and the IF Foundation, the project is being implemented by the European Institute for Cooperation and Development (IECD).
Amid the crisis facing Lebanon’s healthcare system, PARAMED seeks to enhance the quality of care and improve access for vulnerable populations. It involves establishing training centers in 12 public hospitals and implementing continuous training and refresher programs for recent graduates and current hospital staff.
By improving the skills of healthcare professionals and promoting job opportunities for young people in nursing, PARAMED aims to benefit 4,200 healthcare workers and approximately 3 million patients.
"This program is notable for its collaboration between the health and education sectors, aimed at delivering improved healthcare services to all Lebanese citizens,” remarked caretaker Health Minister Firass Abiad.
