The Karagheusian Primary Healthcare Center is serving people, including children and pregnant mothers, who have fled the south of Lebanon and southern Beirut. Its mission was to offer affordable primary care to “every human being, Lebanese or non-Lebanese, refugee or not, Christian or not”, Mr Ohanian said. “In the times of war and in the times of troubling moments, humanity prevails,” Mr Ohanian said. The country was “supposed to enter into a brighter phase”, Mr Ohanian said. The centre has operated through decades of what Mr Ohanian describes as “war, rumours of war, civil war, all types of definition of war”.
