Makhzoumi Foundation through its academic partnership with the Lebanese American University continues empowering the community’s health. Through Vaccination campaigns and awareness sessions about drug-drug and drug-food interactions, pharmacists and nutrition interns are leading the way in community awareness, joined together to increase the efficacy of their roles. The interns accompanied Makhzoumi Foundation healthcare workers on field visits in Beirut area to implement routine vaccination for vulnerable children. The activity is part of a project implemented with UNHCR and IRC aiming at disease prevention among vulnerable communities living in Lebanon. The interns also implemented awareness sessions based on the need of the community to know more about the interactions that occur when drugs and food are taken together.
