A day in service

Twenty-four hours, one team, every kind of call.

02:14

Cardiac call

A crew rolls within 90 seconds. CPR en route buys the minutes that matter.

08:30

First aid class

Twenty residents learn to keep someone alive until help arrives.

12:30

Wound care at home

A home visit for a dressing change and follow-up — recovery without the trip.

18:45

Road accident

Two vehicles on the highway. We stabilise, extricate, and transport.

23:50

Patient transfer

A monitored overnight transfer between hospitals — steady hands the whole way.

What we do

The ways we show up — hover to explore.

Emergency Response

Free ambulance dispatch and rescue, any hour. From road accidents to cardiac arrests, our crews are minutes away.

First Aid Training

CPR, first aid, and disaster-preparedness courses for residents, students, schools and companies.

Wound Care

Dressing changes, injections and follow-up care — at our station, or in the comfort of your own home.

Patient Transport

Safe, monitored transfers between home, hospital and clinic — for non-emergency cases that still need care en route.

Social Work

Students who need to complete social-work or community-service hours can fulfil them with our team at the center.

Who we are

What we stand for — every day, every shift.

We’re neighbours and friends who answer the call — part of the Lebanese Red Cross and a worldwide movement, guided by the same fundamental principles since 1945.

Humanity

Prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it is found.

Impartiality

We serve everyone — no distinction of nationality, race, religion or political affiliation.

Neutrality

We take no sides in hostilities or controversies of a political, racial, or religious nature.

Volunteerism

Driven by neighbours and friends who give their time freely — not for gain.

Universality

Part of a global movement of 191 national societies. We belong to a worldwide family.

Readiness

Equipped, drilled and on call — so the moment a call comes in, a crew is already moving.

Our region

Rooted in the Upper Metn. Ready anywhere.

Our center sits in Bolonia, and the 40 towns and villages below are the area we reach first. But a Red Cross crew goes where the call is — when you’re needed elsewhere in Lebanon, we still come.

We respond beyond this region too — anywhere in Lebanon a crew is needed.
“We can’t choose when the call comes. We only choose to answer it — every single time.”
