Novo Nordisk Conduct Free Diabetes Screening Days Across Lebanon

Caritas Lebanon, in partnership with Novo Nordisk, organized a series of free medical days dedicated to diabetes screening and awareness in the following areas: Housh Hala, Zahle, Reifun, Tyre, Aramoun, Aley, and Makseh.

The initiative included:

  • Diabetes awareness and education sessions
  • Fasting blood glucose testing
  • HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) testing
  • Coverage of laboratory testing costs when required

The medical days also featured general health consultations, medical examinations, and the distribution of medications to people in need. Caritas staff, healthcare workers, and volunteers actively participated in serving and supporting community members throughout the activities.

During one of the medical days, Caritas Lebanon was honored in recognition of its ongoing humanitarian and healthcare efforts in support of the most vulnerable communities.

Since the beginning of May, approximately 348 individuals have benefited from these services.
