In this episode, we discuss the "Research for Health in Conflict (R4HC)" study led by King's College London and partners at the University of Cambridge and the American University of Beirut. This study focuses on the effects of the political situation on healthcare in Lebanon, including the supply of medications, electricity, and healthcare worker exodus. We also discuss their documentary "Lebanon: How Politics Made a Nation Sick", a short film which summarizes the study and is a must-watch.
