Abstract:
Lebanon is undergoing rapid developments. The majority of occupations (approximately two thirds) fall under services, industry makes up one fifth, and the remaining occupations are in agriculture. Primary health care is recently gaining renewed interest, with a focus on primary preventive services. Occupational health practice lags behind, despite the presence of legislation. Data related to occupational illnesses and injuries are fragmented. There is need for comprehensive multidisciplinary national studies to identify occupational health needs. Occupational health nursing is underdeveloped in Lebanon. Nevertheless, the establishment of a National Nurses' Order is hoped to promote the educational preparation and scope of nursing practice in the field.
