Head of Private Hospitals Owners Sleiman Haroun, confirmed that "in the event of war, not all hospitals will be able to accommodate the number of injured," considering that the situation requires "two basic factors: the availability of sufficient human resources, and securing a sufficient stock of medicines and medical supplies, but this does not prevent any hospital from doing its duty to the best of its ability."

"There is a plan being prepared in the Ministry of Public Health that took into consideration the hospitals that are more ready than others, and included them on a list gradually from the most ready to the least," Haroun pointed out.

"In the end, readiness is a relative matter, it is measured by the military operations that will happen, both in quantity and type. The hypothesis of targeting hospitals as happened in Gaza may change the whole course," he added.

Haroun confirmed that hospitals in Lebanon could assess their readiness based on the July war in 2006.

"For example, readiness can be determined if injuries were recorded twice the number of injuries of the July war, without taking into account the direct targeting of hospitals, i.e. besieging them and targeting them with shells either directly or in their vicinity, and here there is no difference between the two cases... the danger is the same and the result is the same, which is the complete paralysis of hospital work," he explained.

"We will rely on the hypothesis of a war similar to 2006 multiplied by two, then there will be no problem for Lebanese hospitals in performing their full duties, but if what happened in Gaza hospitals happened, then all we can say is "there is no power or strength except in God," he concluded.
