The association was honored by the participation of Mr. Johan Ariff Jaafar, Chargé d’Affaires of the Malaysian Embassy in Lebanon, who delivered an opening speech reaffirming his country’s steadfast support for the Palestinian people.

The program targets over 350 participants from healthcare teams, first aid units, and civil defense groups. It reflects Al-Shifaa’s commitment to building strategic partnerships that enhance the resilience of the health sector and contribute to the development of comprehensive and sustainable healthcare services for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
