In December 2020, NRC began rehabilitating a medical centre in Abu Salim municipality near the Libyan capital, Tripoli. The medical centre was up and running by the start of 2021 and now has the potential to serve up to 6,000 people in the surrounding area. We visited the medical centre in April 2021 to speak to community members using the centre and frontline healthcare workers. The location of the clinic is very important – this area has no other health services.”The centre also addresses the affordability of healthcare in Libya. Furthermore, many health facilities – plagued by water and electricity cuts and shortages of healthcare workers, medical supplies and personal protective equipment – remain closed.
