Understanding Health Challenges, Response And Recovery: The 2020 Beirut Blast And Mass Casualty Blast Events

Abstract

This report gives an overview of our workshop on understanding the health challenges, response, and recovery of the health system to the 2020 Beirut Blast and other mass casualty blast events. This workshop aimed to examine how the health response to the 2020 Beirut blast was managed and coordinated, looking at the immediate care of the injured and how the health systems were affected, how they coped, and how those injured were managed over the following two and half years. We aimed to draw out lessons from the health system response to the Beirut blast to help inform future preparedness planning and system reconstitution. Through shared understanding, we identified opportunities for increasing health system resilience, and the long-term rehabilitation and management of those affected by the blast.
