Primary Care Clinic

Mission
The Primary Health Care Center at Hôtel-Dieu de France, affiliated with the National Primary
Health Care Network of the Ministry of Public Health, aspires to become a leading reference in primary care in Lebanon. Its mission is to offer comprehensive, continuous, and high-quality healthcare, integrating prevention, education, and curative treatment while ensuring that these services are financially accessible to all members of the local community.
 

Vision
The vision of the Primary Health Care Center at Hôtel-Dieu de France, affiliated with the National Primary Health Care Network of the Ministry of Public Health, is to provide comprehensive, accessible, and continuous healthcare, placing the patient and their family at the heart of the care team. Under the guidance of a family doctor, our center is committed to improving the health of various populations within the local community by promoting a collaborative and patient-centered approach. We believe that the integration of primary healthcare strengthens the healthcare system, improves clinical outcomes, and ensures optimal care quality and efficiency.
 

Objectives
The main objective is to provide basic, accessible medical care, focused on:
 

1. Disease prevention: Offering vaccinations, public health advice, and regular screenings.
2. Chronic disease management: Ensuring regular follow-up for patients with chronic
   conditions.
3. Access to care: Ensuring that everyone, including the most vulnerable, has access to quality care without barriers.
4. Health education: Raising awareness among patients about the importance of prevention and effective health management.
5. Care coordination: Collaborating closely with specialized services for comprehensive
   patient care.
    

The medical services provided are:

• Treatment of chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, asthma, pulmonary embolism)
• Treatment of acute medical conditions (fever, stomachaches, joint pain, cough, etc.)
• Treatment of mental illnesses
• Disease prevention and health promotion (vaccines and tips for a healthy lifestyle)
• Women health care (regular checkup exams)
• Systematic child health care and vaccines
• Adolescent medicine
• Adult medicine
• Geriatrics

Activities
All services provided by the Primary Health Care Center at HDF are financially accessible to all members of the local community. Vaccines and medications are free, and consultations are offered at very low, almost free prices. Our center provides consultations in all specialties for both adults and children. The ground floor is dedicated to pediatric care, while the first floor is reserved for adults.
The PHCC’s mission is purely social. We actively collaborate with the Aster-HDF Mobile Clinic, a fully equipped unit designed to carry out medical outreach. Through this collaboration, we organize entirely free medical days in underserved areas, where consultations, treatments, and medications are provided to those who lack access to basic healthcare. This initiative aims to support vulnerable communities by improving their health and ensuring equitable access to essential services. Each medical day focuses on a specific theme, with our doctors providing targeted consultations and offering medications as needed. This initiative directly contributes to improving the health and well-being of populations that are often neglected, ensuring they receive the necessary care and attention.
