Japan assists Al Farouk Medical Centre in Zahleh

(11 March 2010)

Japan supports Al Farouk Medical Centre for equipping its medical laboratory in Zahleh. This support is aimed at improving the health condition of people in a remote area. Ambassador of Japan to Lebanon Mr. Koichi Kawakami and General Director of Al Farouk Medical Centre, Sheikh Ghanoum Nassabein, signed the grant contract of US$61,582 to this effect at the Embassy of Japan on 11 March 2010.

This is funded by “Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Project (GGP)” of Japan. Japan’s GGP supports development projects at grass-roots level proposed by such bodies as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and local governmental authorities in Lebanon. Japan has so far extended through GGP more than US$ 9 million since 1996.
