Strengthening primary health care and social services in Bourj Hammoud through partnership, community outreach and quality medical support.
What We Do?
The Boulgourjian Health & Social Center was established in 1987 and is managed by the Cross Society for Armenian Care, a humanitarian women’s association founded in 1930 in Bourj Hammoud.
In 2021, Amel Association International launched a partnership with the Boulgourjian Health Center under the “SAQIRH Support and Development of Health Services in Lebanon” project, funded by AFD.
This partnership recognizes the center’s essential role in supporting residents of Bourj Hammoud and surrounding neighborhoods, especially during the Lebanese civil war, the 2006 war, the Syrian displacement crisis and the Beirut Port explosion.
Health Services
The center provides medical consultations, laboratory tests, radiographs, x-rays and free medications to support vulnerable communities.
Services aim to expand access to quality health care for the most marginalized Lebanese populations and increase the number of beneficiaries reached.
Specialized Clinics
The center offers specialized consultations in general medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, cardiovascular diseases, dermatology, ENT, orthopedics, endocrinology, diabetes, urology, neurology and dentistry.
Quality & Capacity Building
Amel supports the improvement of health programmes in line with quality standards established by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
Amel also provides training for the center’s workers in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Health.
Health Awareness
The center conducts health education and awareness sessions for beneficiaries and local communities.
Its approach focuses on disease prevention, preventive practices and community-based health promotion.
