Ministry of Health to hospitals: Prepare for the evacuation of hospitals in Dahieh and receive their patients

The Media Office of the Ministry of Public Health issued a statement calling on hospitals in Beirut, Mount Lebanon, and areas unaffected by the Israeli aggression to stop admitting non-urgent, cold cases until the end of next week. This is to allow room for the patients currently in hospitals in the southern suburbs of Beirut (Dahieh), which will be evacuated due to the ongoing developments of the aggression.

The Ministry also called on hospitals and health centers to be prepared to care for patients among the displaced people arriving overnight from Dahieh, as responsibilities and tasks are expected to increase with the rising number of displaced individuals.
