Practical Information

Picture 

Emergency and general medical treatment is readily available for visitors to Lebanon. In most instances, fees will need to be paid upon treatment, as Lebanon does not have health agreements with North America or Europe. 


For a direct emergency or an ambulance, contact the Lebanese Red Cross: 140 (free call from any mobile or landline phone).
