The Reproductive Health program offered by the Primary Health Care Department at the Ministry of Public Health offers Antenatal and Postnatal Healthcare services for pregnant Lebanese and Non-Lebanese women across Lebanon. These services were initiated by the formulation of ‘’Service Delivery Guidelines’’, which was followed by consecutive training for staff of Primary Health Care (PHC) centers across Lebanon on implementation. These guidelines have been recently updated and an endorsement meeting will be held to gain consensus for updated guidelines, which will then be followed by trainings of health care providers from PHC centers across Lebanon.
The antenatal and postnatal services offered by the PHC centers to its beneficiaries consist of the following; all pregnant women are qualified to
1. 4 visits during pregnancy
2. 2 Ecography during pregnancy
3. 1 postnatal visit
4. Coverage of vaccination for the newborn infants 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.
