Lebanon has been working hard on equipping public hospitals following the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country and the increasing need for public establishments to receive COVID-19 patients.

Health Minister Hamad Hassan praised the decision of the finance ministry which also allocated 800 million Lebanese pounds for Rafic Hariri University Hospital, the main hospital treating COVID-19 patients.
