AUBMC Emergency Response 2026

"For 160 years, AUB has remained steadfast in fulfilling its mission to educate, to heal, and to serve. That mission is our moral compass and a source of hope in difficult times. We will rise to this moment, as we always have." - AUB President Fadlo R. Khuri (March 2026)

Throughout its history, the American University of Beirut has provided care and inspired hope – at our medical center, in classrooms and research laboratories, and through numerous outreach initiatives that go beyond our campus walls.

Our Medical Center has been at the heart of every emergency response in Lebanon. Our full focus is on saving lives and caring for the wounded with consummate skill and dedication - and without any consideration to the background, affiliation, or ability to pay of the individual receiving care. That is what we have always done, most recently during the war in fall 2024, and will continue to do.

During the current escalating war on Lebanon, we are once again playing a critical role as a safety net for our community: for the vulnerable, the injured, the displaced, and all those who need healthcare when it matters most - at the AUB Medical Center and at our sister hospital, the Keserwan Medical Center. Between the start of the conflict in Lebanon on Sunday, March 1, 2026, and Thursday, April 9, 2026, the AUBMC Emergency Department has received and attended to 481 innocent victims as follows:

177 casualties, including 43 children
304 displaced patients, including 107 children

Donations to the AUBMC Emergency Response will be used to support the care of patients at our medical center who need financial assistance (AUBMC Needy Patients Fund) and also for medical supplies and equipment urgently needed to attend to these patients (AUBMC Medical Equipment Fund).
