Primary Healthcare (PHC) facilities are fundamental components of health systems given that they provide the citizens living within their catchment areas with a wide array of cost-effective preventive and curative services. A well-established PHC system decreases unnecessary use of secondary and tertiary health services among the citizens thus reducing their out-of-pocket health spending. This is of extreme importance in the city of Beirut where around 716 families are living under the minimum poverty line and are considered the poorest in the whole country.
