Health & Education
Health
Hospitals in south Mount Lebanon lag behind those in the larger cities in terms of expertise, equipment, facilities and care. A teaching hospital currently does not exist in southern Mount Lebanon.
A feasibility study is currently underway to build a tertiary teaching hospital that would cater to the region.
Education
Education has always been a pillar in Lebanon with a 95% literary rate as reported in 2018, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Southern Mount Lebanon has a shortage of schools and children have to travel long distances to obtain their education. As a result, Darouna is looking to establish and support schools for all ages in the area.
