The Department of Primary Health Care holds the PHC network in Lebanon which is comprised of 237 primary healthcare centers distributed across the country and serves more than 50% of the population, with 38 clinics in the Beirut metropolitan area. The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) is the main authority that formulates, funds and implements national health policies and programs.
