No one should die because of lack of medicine 💊
5 years ago, Medonations was born with a promise: to never leave anyone behind.

Together we endured the toughest moments , the Beirut explosion, COVID-19, extreme shortages, economic collapse, and war , and still stood by more than 20,000 lives we’ve touched and saved.
This year has been one of the hardest. We are deeply grateful to Obegi Company for covering 65 patients/month during one of our toughest years, and to Medonations France for standing by us in this mission. But with new medical transportation regulations limiting our routing, we need your help!

👉 If you have medications ( In Lebanon) with good expiry dates and proper storage, that you no longer use, you can donate them.
👉 If you can contribute financially, you can help us secure hundreds of treatments every month through Medonations France (HelloAsso link in Bio)

Every patient is fighting a silent battle. Your support is what keeps hope alive 🫀 until the day when everyone in Lebanon can access their medications fairly, freely, and equally🇱🇧🙏🏻 by @medonations

Marina El Khawand was 18 years old when the Beirut explosion destroyed her city.

She spent the next seven years building @medonations into a movement operating across 65 countries, saving over 25,000 lives, funded entirely without a government behind her.

In our latest editorial, she speaks about grassroots power and what it cost her personally to build it. And why a seat at the table means nothing if no one acts on what you say.

Seven days after the Beirut explosion, Marina El Khawand, 18 years old, walked alone into a building marked as a danger zone. Inside, she found an elderly woman clutching a ripped box of medication she could no longer find anywhere in the city.

That afternoon became the founding story of Medonations, now present in 65 countries and credited with saving over 25,000 lives.

In this episode of Voices of Impact, Marina tells it the way she lived it.

The tests were negative. But Celine knew something wasn’t right.

At 34, Celine spent a year searching for answers about pain that kept getting worse. Although several tests and biopsies came back negative, she trusted her instincts and continued to seek medical advice. A surgical biopsy eventually revealed breast cancer that had spread to her bones.

Celine is still on her treatment journey. At Medonations, we’re grateful to stand beside her and honored that she chose to share her story. Her message is a powerful one: breast cancer can affect young women, even without a family history. Persistent pain or changes deserve medical follow-up, even after reassuring results.

This Pink October, we’re sending Celine and every person facing cancer, love, prayers, strength, and hope🤍

Some battles are invisible. Some are fought in hospital beds, at home, or behind every box of medicine

Behind every treatment is a human story of courage, struggle, and hope.

To everyone fighting, healing, caring, or simply holding on, we see you 💚

Mental health is health. Healthcare is a right.

بعض المعارك لا يراها أحد. بعضها يُخاض على أسرّة المستشفيات، أو في المنازل، أو خلف كل علبة دواء!

فخلف كل علاج حكاية إنسان، مليئة بالشجاعة والتحديات والأمل.

إلى كل من يكافح، أو يتعافى، أو يعتني بغيره، أو يحاول فقط الصمود… نحن نراكم ونشعر بكم 💚

الصحة النفسية جزء لا يتجزأ من الصحة. والرعاية الصحية حق للجميع

Comment “ Doctorina”

A lack of healthcare access pushes people toward high-risk alternatives: self-medicating with antibiotics and relying on generic AI. These practices exacerbate antimicrobial resistance and expose patients to medically problematic guidance.

To combat this crisis, the partnership between Medonations and @doctorina_com integrates precision clinical technology with direct, on-the-ground medical assistance.
The process operates as a comprehensive care system:

📲Doctorina acts as a safe, free initial clinical filter. Unlike standard chatbots, it evaluates patient history, matches the diagnostic accuracy of healthcare professionals in routine cases, and flags critical conditions before they escalate.

💊Medonations translates that evaluation into tangible action. Using the platform’s accurate triage data, our medical teams can prioritize emergencies, optimize resources, and ensure vulnerable patients receive the physical treatment and medication they truly need to recover.
Accurate medical guidance backed by real medical intervention.

Access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on where you live or what you can afford. Today, we’re taking a real step to change that.

We’ve partnered with @Doctorina_com a free, 24/7 health companion built by doctors. Not another chatbot: it asks about YOU, considers your history, flags what’s urgent, and guides you on what to do next with real clinical precision.

Why it matters: Doctorina meets people the moment they need guidance day or night. And, with their consent, it helps our team work smarter organized health profiles, clear consultation summaries, and anonymized trends on the conditions communities face so we can plan our medical campaigns where they’re needed most.

More reach. More precision. More people cared for.

6 years ago, on this date, Marina El Khawand had an encounter that changed the course of her life.

While volunteering, she met a woman who desperately needed asthma medication but had no way to obtain it. Refusing to leave her without help, Marina turned to social media and her community, eventually securing 12 boxes of the medicine. A year’s supply.

That single act of compassion became the beginning of Medonations.

Since then, Medonations has grown into a nationwide humanitarian initiative, supporting more than 20,000 families, helping fund over 200 treatments and surgeries, saving hundreds of lives, and delivering thousands of essential medicines, medical supplies, and healthcare resources to people across Lebanon.

Despite how heartbreaking that day was, Marina’s journey is a reminder that one act of kindness can grow into a movement that transforms thousands of lives.
