PROFILE
The idea to create a specialized center for the treatment and follow-up of childhood chronic diseases came up in 1992, as an answer to the urgent needs expressed by the medical community and the patients' families.
The Chronic Care Center is a medico-social institution, specialized in the treatment and follow-up of childhood chronic diseases: Thalassemia and Type I Diabetes.
The Chronic Care Center is the first philanthropic medical institution of its kind in Lebanon and the Middle East. Founded in 1992 and officially inaugurated in June 1994, the Center aims at maximizing quality of health care and social support to children affected by Thalassemia and Insulin-Dependent Diabetes.Through its multi-disciplinary team of doctors and experts, the Center ensures an optimal therapeutic control and a medical follow-up to its patients. The Center also helps families to understand the diseases, and consequently, assume their share of responsibility.
