Colorectal cancer, fatty liver disease, and gastric conditions are rising rapidly in Lebanon, often detected late when treatment is harder. Early screening, lifestyle changes, and specialized care with modern techniques can prevent disease before it becomes life-threatening. Don’t wait—timely action can truly save lives.

The migration of healthcare professionals is not only about “fewer doctors” but represents a rupture in the entire value chain of care: training – clinical supervision – technical operations – research – quality management. When a physician leaves, we lose: (1) expertise in handling complex cases; (2) mentors for the next generation; (3) the capacity to build standardized protocols; (4) a professional voice in policy-making. The ripple effects manifest as longer waiting times, postponed procedures, higher indirect costs for patients (work absence, travel), and ultimately, more advanced disease – more expensive to treat – with higher risk of mortality.
