Reproductive Health Services
 
In compliance with the decisions of the International Conference on Population and Development in 1994 on behalf of the Government of Lebanon, the “Reproductive Health Program” was established at the Ministry of Public Health and supported by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) under the umbrella of primary health care with a clear strategy between 1998 and 2001. The program is still ongoing through its integration within the primary health care department.

The Ministry of Public Health / Primary Health Care Department in collaboration with UNFPA provides various services regarding reproductive health and family planning in agreement with the joint annual work plan signed between the two parties.

The health services can be summarized in the following categories:
  • Family planning
  • Safe motherhood and Newborn Health
  • Diagnostic & Preventive Check-ups
  • Screening for Reproductive system diseases and reproductive tract cancers

I. Reproductive Health Services
The primary health care department provides preventive services in order to improve the health of the family (women, children, youth and men) through:
  • Providing reproductive health medications and supplies through PHC centers, including 57 health centers / clinics outside the primary health care network, and providing reproductive health services to the displaced in order to improve women's health and prevent unwanted pregnancies.
  • Delivering reproductive health information to beneficiaries through awareness and education programs which are provided by the primary health care centers within and outside the centers.
  • Providing equipment that enables early detection of reproductive system diseases (early detection of breast cancer, cervical cancer).
  • Encouraging pregnant women to receive a minimum of 4 visits during pregnancy and one postnatal visit.
  • Developing the capacity of service providers in primary health care centers based on the clinical protocols for reproductive health.
  • Preparing governmental hospitals to receive emergency obstetric cases.
  •  Equipping governmental hospitals to receive high-risk pregnancies.
  •  Capacity building of service providers to deal with survivors of sexual violence and refer them to relevant associations.
  • Capacity building of service providers of provision of equipment for primary health care centers and hospitals to address cases of rape and refer survivors to the relevant associations.
 

II. Antenatal and Postnatal Care Services:
The primary health care department offers as well antenatal and postnatal care services for pregnant Lebanese and non-Lebanese women across Lebanon as part of the reproductive health services. These services were supported by the formulation of the ‘’Service Delivery Guidelines’’, which were followed by consecutive training for primary health care (PHC) centers’ staff across Lebanon upon implementation.

The antenatal and postnatal care services offered by the PHC centers consist of the following:
All pregnant women visiting the centers should receive:
  1.  Minimum of 4 antenatal care services
  2.  2 Echography during pregnancy
  3.  1 postnatal visit
  4.  Coverage of vaccination for newborn of followed up mothers (according to the National Vaccination Calendar)
  5.  Provision of Reproductive Health drugs and supplies to all PHC centers, in addition to 64 Reproductive Health dispensaries supported by International NGOs to serve the displaced Syrians.
 

III. Service Delivery Guidelines for Reporoductive Health Care:
MoPH with the support of UNFPA and in collaboration with the Lebanese Society of Obstetrics & Gynecology (LSOG) launched " The Revised Version of the Service Delivery Guidelines for Reproductive Health" in June 2015, which aimed at improving the knowledge and skills of service providers, in order to ensure the provision of reproductive health services that meet women's, men's and youth's needs in Lebanon.

Accordingly, the first phase of training took place from July to September, with 275 physicians and health care workers, including: 160 paramedical specialties, 88 medical and 27 humanitarian actors.

The training aims to improve the knowledge, skills and confidence of health workers to ensure that reproductive health needs of women, men adults and youth are met in normal setting and in the case of crises.
