Access to Healthcare

Starting 1 December 2025, due to a global shortage in funding, UNHCR is no longer able to provide hospitalization support for refugees residing in Lebanon. This includes maternity delivery services and acute emergency hospital admissions. Additionally, as of this date, NextCare representatives are no longer present in contracted hospitals, and there are no agreements with hospitals for hospitalization of refugees known to UNHCR. UNHCR is actively engaging with donors and health partners to advocate for and seek alternative support for refugee hospitalization where possible.
