Abstract
The K2P Policy Dialogue that was conducted on December 2015, was attended by diverse stakeholders: policy and decision makers, representatives from relevant ministries (ministry of public health (MOPH) and ministry of labor (MOL)), UN agencies representatives (UNHCR, UNIFIL, UNRWA, UNICEF, ILO), local non-governmental organization representatives (SIDC, Skoun, LAS, MARSA, AJEM, ALFM, Vivre positif, and others), and law firms, as well as researchers and public health scholars. The policy dialogue hosted 21 people and was facilitated by Dr. Fadi El-Jardali, Director of the K2P with the presence of Dr. Moustafa Nakib, the Director of the National AIDS Control Program and Mrs. Nada Naja, the UNFPA representative. Dialogue participants discussed the overall framing of the issue of access of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) to healthcare services in Lebanon. All participants endorsed the existence of the problem and most agreed about the need to focus on the many factors that are leading to the limited access of PLHIV to healthcare services.
