The Palestine Red Crescent Society in Lebanon announced the near arrival of a delegation of German medics specialized in pediatric, oral, maxillofacial, and orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgeries, between 15 and 23 June.
The checks-ups and surgeries will be provided for free at the Safad Hospital in AlBadawi refugee camp, north of Lebanon. Concerned patients are required to provide their personal data and a detailed medical report about their case.
Nearly 28,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria seeking shelter in Lebanon have been subjected to dire socio-economic conditions and a precarious legal status as the Lebanese authorities continue to rebuff their appeals for legal visas and access to the local labor market.
