Given the current events in Lebanon, Lebanese physicians working there have been in the news extensively lately. Some have chosen to leave in search of a more stable life; some have chosen to stay, and some have chosen not to move back to Lebanon in the first place. We will interview Lebanese physicians working in Lebanon and beyond to get their opinions about the events taking place in Lebanon, the future of medicine in Lebanon, and the role Lebanese physicians play worldwide in their respective fields, and their connections to their home county. We will highlight success stories, stories that were not so successful, and everything in between. Medical students, physicians-in-training, and attending physicians at different points in their careers will be interviewed.
We hope you will find this podcast beneficial and exciting!

The Global Cancer Divide: What the Data Reveal About Lebanon and Low-Resource Countries
In this episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most important public-health conversations of our time: the widening global cancer divide.
Using insights from the latest Lancet and GBD 2023 data, we explore why cancer has become the second leading cause of death worldwide and what this means for health systems especially in low- and middle-income countries.
Our guest breaks down global patterns, regional disparities, and the unique challenges facing Lebanon, with tobacco use being the greatest modifiable risk factor. We discuss which cancers are rising fastest locally, Lebanon’s data, and why nearly two-thirds of cancer deaths occur in lower-resource settings.
Finally, we look ahead: What will cancer care look like in 2050 in a country with constrained resources? And what can Lebanese physicians, researchers, and diaspora communities do to help shape a sustainable cancer-control strategy?
This is an essential conversation for clinicians, policymakers, public-health professionals, and anyone concerned about the future of cancer care in Lebanon and the broader region#CancerCare #GlobalCancerDivide #LebanonHealth #GBD2023 #LancetStudy #PublicHealth #CancerControl #LebanesePhysiciansPodcast #CancerEpidemiology #HealthcareInequity #LMICHealth #CancerBurden #SmokingAndCancer #MiddleEastHealth #HealthPolicy #MedicalPodcast #CancerAwareness #GlobalHealth #LebanonCrisis #DiasporaPhysicians
