Dr Abboud Antoine Assaf - Psychiatrist

Dr Assaf is the head of the psychiatry department at Bellevue Medical Center since November 2010. With a pluridisciplinary approach regrouping various specialties, this department is adapted to every psychiatric illness, even the most severe and offers inpatient group therapies that are unique of a kind in Lebanon.

Dr ASSAF also worked in a mental health project for the Palestinian refugees of the Northern camps in Lebanon following the Nahr El Bared crisis that emerged in summer 2007, as well as with the Lebanese nongovernmental organization AJEM (Association Justice Et Misericorde) that works inside the prison of Roumieh in various projects aiming different inmate populations (tortured prisoners, Iraqi refugees), most notably with the addicts in a rehabilitation center within the prison.
