About this episode

Please listen and watch Episode 40 of the Lebanese Physicians Podcast. In this episode, we discuss the state of oncology and cancer treatment in Lebanon, which is suffering at this time due to migration of a large number of oncologists, and the lack of availability of essential cancer treatments due to cost and other factors. The state of oncology in the country sheds a light into the overall state of medical practice in the country.

We end the episode discussing ways to help and possible future directions. Also available on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify.
