Hospital and doctor pairing with Foch Hospital

A cooperation and exchange agreement around all the medical and scientific fields was concluded in Paris between Foch Hospital, one of the most prestigious establishments of France, and the Cliniquedu Levant of Beirut, Lebanon.

The partnership agreement is aimed at increasing the level of exchange between both establishments, providing patients with the services of the most qualified specialists and investing in telemedicine, hence allowing practitioners from both hospitals to gain hands-on experience.
