Message from President Jabbra regarding the LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital Covid-19 Emergency Fund
No LAU asset is as important to us as the trust and support of Lebanese society. Over a century and a half, we have been together working hand-in-hand for a better future.
The Covid-19 menace has placed the patient-care part of our mission under unprecedented stress as can be expected. With the engagement of the Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of medicine, Our LAUMC-RH, has been at the forefront of our collective societal response to the virus. Our effort includes readying new hospital floors, acquiring new equipment, stocking on PCR testing kits, and mobilization of specialized personnel. Funding all these pressing needs goes well beyond what our limited resources allow.
To that effect, we are launching a COVID-19 Emergency Fund to garner the resources needed in our challenging fight against the evil Coronavirus. Gifts in any currency will be gratefully accepted and acknowledged online: https://giving.lau.edu.lb/donate
We are grateful in advance for your generosity and honored to have you join us in defeating this evil pandemic and providing all Lebanese with a healthier and better tomorrow. Further details on how you can help can be found on our web page.
