The Brazilian State and the Lebanese-Brazilian Medical Association delivered on Tuesday the first batch of medicines for chronic and incurable diseases to Lebanon.
The Brazilian ambassador to Lebanon, Tarcísio Costa, handed over the donation to the Caretaker Minister of Public Health, Firas Abiad, at the central drug depot in Karantina.
On this occasion, Abiad stressed that "this Brazilian donation is not the first of its kind and will be followed by others in the near future," expressing his gratitude to Brazil, the Lebanese community, and Lebanon's ambassador to Brazil, Carla Jazzar.
He also noted that "this aid comes at a crucial time to help patients, particularly those suffering from multiple sclerosis or who have undergone kidney transplants."
Abiad asserted that "the Ministry of Health continues to make every effort to guarantee the medical needs of the Lebanese," announcing "a change in healthcare tariffs," which should be implemented "early in the new year and which would make costs lower for patients."
