The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) provided healthcare services to 9,733 patients at the Arsal Healthcare Center in Lebanon’s Baalbek Governorate, offering a total of 18,425 services in December 2024, including consultations, pharmaceuticals, laboratory tests, and nursing care.
Aarsal, January 21, 2025 — The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has continued its essential efforts to enhance healthcare services for both Syrian refugees and the host community in Aarsal, a town in Lebanon’s Baalbek Governorate. During December 2024, the Arsal Healthcare Center, supported by KSrelief, provided comprehensive medical services to 9,733 patients, delivering a total of 18,425 healthcare services across various departments.
The healthcare services provided by the Arsal Healthcare Center include a wide range of medical care, such as consultations in its clinics, pharmaceutical support from its pharmacy, diagnostic services from its laboratory, and nursing assistance. In addition, the center offers a vital community and mental health program aimed at addressing the psychological well-being of individuals affected by the ongoing crisis. The center’s diverse offerings ensure that the most pressing health needs of both refugees and the local population are met with compassion and professionalism.
The demographic breakdown of the beneficiaries reveals that 39% of the patients were male, while 61% were female, reflecting the broad spectrum of individuals requiring medical attention. Notably, the majority of the patients—80%—were Syrian refugees, underscoring the critical need for healthcare services among displaced populations. The remaining 20% of beneficiaries were local residents of Aarsal, illustrating the center’s role in serving both refugees and host community members, fostering a sense of solidarity and mutual support.
This initiative is part of a broader set of humanitarian projects implemented by KSrelief, aimed at alleviating the suffering of those affected by the Syrian conflict. Through its healthcare interventions, KSrelief is not only addressing the immediate medical needs of refugees but is also contributing to the overall resilience of the host community. By providing essential healthcare services, KSrelief is helping to ensure that both Syrian refugees and local residents can access the care they need during a time of hardship.
KSrelief’s support for the Arsal Healthcare Center is a key element of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing humanitarian efforts in Lebanon. The Kingdom, through KSrelief, continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to providing aid to those in need, particularly Syrian refugees who have been displaced by the conflict. This healthcare initiative underscores Saudi Arabia’s long-term dedication to improving the lives of those affected by the crisis, while also reinforcing the Kingdom’s role as a leading global advocate for humanitarian aid and support.
The services offered at the Arsal Healthcare Center are just one example of KSrelief’s comprehensive humanitarian approach, which seeks to provide not only immediate relief but also long-term solutions for those facing the dire consequences of displacement. Through these efforts, KSrelief is helping to restore hope and dignity to those who have been most affected by the Syrian crisis, demonstrating Saudi Arabia’s commitment to alleviating suffering and providing humanitarian relief wherever it is needed most.
