You are not humble just because you talk yourself down.
You are not smart just because you overthink everything.
You are not a good person just because you let people take advantage of you.

To our colleagues who left, we understand, and we wish you well. But the credit has to go to those doctors who decided to stay and take care of the ones who do not want to, or cannot leave. Without them, there is no country, and no place to return.

4/4 In short, the delivery of healthcare services in 🇱🇧, especially to the vulnerable population, faces daunting challenges. However, the system retains a large capacity and is able to adapt. This gives hope that with the right support, access to health can be insured for all.

"It's not about hope, it's about choice. If we all leave who will fix this country? Now is the time to be here and work."
The most motivating statement I have heard in Lebanon for a while & reminds me why I am still here. If only we had 10 more visionaries like you @firassabiad!

We are not ok. Electricity cuts for long hours, supplies and medication shortages, nurses unable to come to work due to lack of fuel, doctors leaving, seeking better lives abroad, and a pandemic waiting at the corner: Things fall apart.
Still, we will stay, and we will fight!

2/2 It is not common, in these difficult times, to find people who give more than they take. These “Givers” make life bearable, and give us hope in a better world, a better tomorrow. At RHUH, Setrak’s donation will help generate much more than electricity. We shall overcome.

1/2 Yesterday, Fuel was delivered to RHUH thanks to the Lebanese Army (5,000L) and Coral (15,000L). Their support is much appreciated. Also, an individual, Setrak, donated 350L that he was able to obtain from several stations up north. His selfless act left us speechless.

Gold and other foreign liquid assets held by BDL amount to more than 30 billion dollars. That is more than Lebanon’s GDP. With a well-devised plan, seriously implemented reforms and the help of the IMF and others we could recover quickly. We need an interim independent government – at Lebanon

Albert Einstein once said: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Isn’t it insane that the same people who bankrupted the country believe they can fix it by doing the same things?
Or maybe I am insane?
Hala Labaki retweeted
While the figures of the government reform plan need refreshing, this is the best paper ever written to solve Lebanon’s financial situation. Bells and whistles can be added. But the direction is there and hold the right people accountable. Anything short of that is pure heresy

10,000 cases of coronavirus will be reached today in #Lebanon. Another milestone. More than 50% of those are between 20 and 49 years of age. A completely healthy doctor I know, mid-30s, is fighting for his life. Another, 34, died last week. Yes, young people can die from it.
