"We will serve you with our eyes" – was the motto raised by the Islamic Health society in presenting the medical and health services and provide advice and guidance especially during the Zionist assaults in July 2006.
As a result of the pressuring health and psychological circumstances lived by the people migrating due to the July 2006 aggression, and taking into account the importance and sensitivity of this issue, the Islamic Health Society decided to establish emergency team of doctors, pharmacists, and nurses to conduct tours to check on patients and provide medicines and children vaccines for free.
The number of migration centers looked after by the Islamic health society reached around 197 centers in Beirut, while the Lebanese benefiting from this service were around 200,000 citizens from different regions.
The health society worked on providing dispensaries in many areas, and opened new ones in some areas where refugees gathered.
