Lebanon How politics made a nation sick

The media image of Lebanon and that portrayed by academics and international diplomats is often contradictory. On one hand, it's seen as a modern and progressive country in a turbulent 'jungle' of a neighbourhood, where the food is world class, and the citizens are 'resilient' to episodes of political trauma. When they are not talking about the food, nightlife and resilience the dominant policy, media and academic stereotypes fall into security, sectarianism and terrorism. • A study from the Research for Health in Conflict (R4HC), funded by GCRF and led by King's College London and partners at the University of Cambridge, and the American University of Beirut, Lebanon shows how political decisions and clientelism have had a detrimental impact on the health and wellbeing of a population. The report recommends that health and health services be given far greater priority in the economic recovery and development policies of donor governments.
