Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data, focusing on governance, resource allocation, and community engagement. Results: The MHC has played a crucial role in strengthening local health governance, fostering collaboration with NGOs, and integrating scattered humanitarian efforts into a coordinated health strategy. Through a needs-based resource allocation model, the MHC has improved healthcare access for all residents and initiated community-driven programs, including school health initiatives, health education campaigns, a virtual blood bank, chronic disease medication access, disability support, and national vaccination reactivation. All these plans encompass capacity building, screening and awareness; the centralized results will feed in the referral system and guide the way forward. Additionally, local health centers have partnered with the MHC to establish Health Hubs, offering integrated healthcare services.  \nConclusion: The MHC demonstrates that community-based governance can enhance health system resilience, promote equitable healthcare access, and enable effective crisis response. This model provides a blueprint for strengthening healthcare governance in municipalities, advancing progress toward universal health coverage.  \nAbstract citation ID: ckaf180.277  \n407 Strengthening healthcare governance: effective leadership and equitable strategies for universal health coverage through the municipal health committee in Majdal Anjar, Lebanon  \nJoanna Khalil1, Rouham Yamout1, Wesam Mansour2, Fouad Fouad2, Joanna Raven2  \n1American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon  \n2Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool, United Kingdom  \nPTH 6: Health Policy and Health Services 1, B307 (FCSH), September 4, 2025, 16:30-17:30  \nAim: Lebanon’s healthcare system has been severely impacted by multiple crises, including economic collapse, political instability, the COVID-19 pandemic, and regional conflicts. The fragmentation and privatization of the healthcare sector have weakened service delivery, resulting in shortages of medical supplies, increased out-of-pocket expenses, and reduced access to care for both refugees and host communities. In response, the ReBUILD for Resilience (R4R) Lebanon team implemented Participatory Action Research in Majdal Anjar, leading to the establishment of the Municipal Health Committee (MHC) . This initiative aimed to enhance local healthcare governance through evidence-based management, inclusivity, efficiency, and equitable access to quality healthcare.  \nMethods: This study draws on process documentation, including meeting minutes, field journal notes, and transcripts of reflective meetings, to examine the MHC’s development, priorities, and","cbCaioegGCurMNnu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioegGCurMNnu","pdf",53233,"English","# Aim\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What crisis conditions motivated the study in Lebanon?\",\"answer\":\"The study cites economic collapse, political instability, the COVID-19 pandemic, and regional conflicts, alongside healthcare sector fragmentation and privatization that weakened service delivery and access.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the Municipal Health Committee (MHC) created and what did it target?\",\"answer\":\"The MHC was established in Majdal Anjar through Participatory Action Research implemented by the R4R Lebanon team, aiming to strengthen local governance through evidence-based management, inclusivity, efficiency, and equitable quality care access.\"},{\"question\":\"What methods were used to analyze the MHC’s development and priorities?\",\"answer\":\"The research used process documentation, including meeting minutes, field journal notes, and transcripts from reflective meetings, and applied thematic analysis focused on governance, resource allocation, and community engagement.\"}]","407 Strengthening healthcare governance - effective leadership and equitable strategies for universal health coverage through the municipal health committee in Majdal Anjar, Lebanon | PDF",1790729444]
