In February/March 2023, we were fortunate to have the much-loved and world-renown Dr. Suleiman in Lebanon. Many of our beneficiaries know Dr. Suleiman and respect his expertise. They were eager to have an ophthalmology consultation with him. Fortunately, for RAB, Dr. Suleiman is on our Board and he obliged to help us coordinate with a local clinic that is frequented by Syrian refugees, for him to use their ophthalmology clinic for 2 days where he would be happy to do consultations. We did not advertise the project. Word about Dr. Suleiman's service to refugees in the Bekaa was sent out solely by word of mouth. Over the two days, Dr. Suleiman examined about 100 patients. Of these 100 patients, 30 people had complex, expensive, chronic, or difficult to be treated conditions that would need regular consultations, which these people cannot get, because they simply cannot afford it, financially. However, Dr. Suleiman still follows some of these patients online, from Turkey where he currently lives.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesAug 1, 2022 – Jul 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$830Case Management for High-Risk Individuals
We also do do case management. For example, for the first half of calendar year 2023, we have been closely following 8 cases that we have referred because they are high-risk and they have needed multiple services. The issues that these beneficiaries were facing were: Gender Based Violence (GBV), sexual harassment, and attempted suicide. We have referred these beneficiaries to our partner organizations, but because there is just one psychiatrist to whom we can refer (and who is part-time!), the appointment wait times are very long and our beneficiaries cannot pay the transportation costs to go to their psychiatric consultations and psychology appointments. Our partner organizations include: HAND HUman Aid and Development, Damma-Hug, MAPS Multi-Aid Programs, Amel Association, ...
