With the current financial crisis reaching an all-time low, a greater number of prospective patients are calling Egatha for financial assistance.

Egatha is pleased to announce that its Lebanon-based volunteer team has gained two new invaluable assets. We are delighted to introduce Dr. Mia Marwani and Dr. Slaiman Said!

According to a 2018 study published in the National Library of Medicine, diabetes mellitus is a chronic non- communicable disease characterized by hyperglycemia and is associated with chronic complications affecting the overall quality of life.

If you did not already know, Egatha's Lebanon-based team operates in conjunction with the Daughters of Charity, a Catholic-based apothecary located in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Beirut, known as the Karm-El-Zeitoun Dispensary.

With great sadness, we announce the earthly death of one of Egatha's patients, Mr. D. Attal. We pray for Mr. Attal's family, that the Lord give them peace and comfort during
this difficult time.

Egatha is pleased to announce our Fundraising Benefit Dinner on June 12th, from 4-8 pm at Bridgewater Manor.

Since launching in July 2021, we have assisted over a hundred patients and their families in accessing the healthcare they need. We would like to take this time to highlight our gratitude for Egatha's Lebanon-based team, which includes three volunteers and our doctor, Dr. Afaf Minari.

It is safe to say that 2021 was a year full of unexpected hardships for the people of Lebanon. Crisis after crisis, the Lebanese people have fought to survive in some of the most unbearable circumstances. Nonetheless, will 2022 prove just as difficult?

Lebanon is facing nothing short of a national deterioration to its healthcare sector. From expansive drug shortages to an exodus of Lebanon's doctors and nurses, the Lebanese people are left to fend for themselves.

A total of $200 USD donated has been provided in the form of monthly support ($50 USD per family per month) to 4 families.

Egatha has continued to aid the KZ dispensary. At least 80 endocrinology consultations have been provided. In addition, Egatha has sponsored adult internal medicine and infectious diseases consultations once or twice each week.
