  • Maternal Mortality Ratio in Lebanon in 2008: a Hospital-Based Reproductive Age Mortality Survey (Ramos)
    MATERNAL MORTALITY RATIO IN LEBANON IN 2008: A HOSPITAL-BASED REPRODUCTIVE AGE MORTALITY SURVEY (RAMOS) Salim Adib, MD, DrPH Professor of Epidemiology and Public Heath Faculty of Medicine Saint-Joseph University Beirut- Lebanon Beirut- Lebanon January 2010 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: This proposal is based on an earlier document prepared by Dr. Ziad Mansour, Technical Officer, WR Office in Beirut. Fieldwork was conducted by Drs. Tony Ghanem, Miche Fahad, Ralph Karam, Chucrallah Chamandi, and was coordinated by Dr. Samer Abi-Chaker. Mr. Elie Hobeika was instrumental in data entry, analysis and report preparation. The project was also facilitated through the intervention of Mr. Mohammad-Ali Hamandi and Mrs. Rita Rahbany-Saad on behalf of the Syndicate of Private Hospitals and Ms. Hilda Harb on behalf of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). MOPH Director-General, Dr. Walid Ammar was the senior advisor on the project. Funding was provided through the WR Office in Beirut. MATERNAL MORTALITY RATIO IN LEBANON IN 2008: A HOSPITAL-BASED REPRODUCTIVE AGE MORTALITY SURVEY (RAMOS) A. INTRODUCTION A1. Rationale The complexity of ascertaining maternal deaths makes it difficult for many low income countries to measure the levels of maternal mortality, hence the lack of valid data on such avoidable deaths. A report prepared by international agencies (1) has recently assigned Lebanon to the group H of countries with “no national data on maternal mortality”. As a result, an arbitrary equation was used to determine that Lebanon’s maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in 2005 was 150 per 100,000 live births. The Lebanese government disputes this classification and its consequences.

  • Cretaceous Transition in Mount Lebanon
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by I-Revues Carnets Geol. 16 (8) Some steps toward a new story for the Jurassic - Cretaceous transition in Mount Lebanon Bruno GRANIER 1 Christopher TOLAND 2 Raymond GÈZE 3 Dany AZAR 3, 4 Sibelle MAKSOUD 3 Abstract: The stratigraphic framework of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous strata of Lebanon that dates back to DUBERTRET's publications required either consolidation or full revision. The preliminary results of our investigations in the Mount Lebanon region are presented here. We provide new micro- paleontological and sedimentological information on the Salima Oolitic Limestones, which is probably an unconformity-bounded unit (possibly Early Valanginian in age), and the "Grès du Liban" (Barremian in age). Our revised bio- and holostratigraphic interpretations and the new age assignations lead us to em- phasize the importance of the two hiatuses in the sedimentary record below and above the Salima, i.e., at the transition from the Jurassic to the Cretaceous. Key Words: Tithonian; Valanginian; Barremian; hiatus; unconformity; Salima Oolitic Limestones; "Grès du Liban"; amber; Balkhania. Citation: GRANIER B., TOLAND C., GÈZE R., AZAR D. & MAKSOUD S.

Résumé : Avancées dans une réécriture de l'histoire de la transition du Jurassique au Crétacé dans le Mont Liban.- Le canevas stratigraphique du Jurassique supérieur et du Crétacé inférieur du Liban date des publications anciennes de DUBERTRET et aurait donc besoin d'être soit toiletté et consolidé, soit révisé de fond en comble.
