The Lebanese economic authorities issued a statement today, Thursday, clarifying that what was mentioned in their statement yesterday about "the shortcomings of social security in providing health benefits to insured workers and employees in the private sector" referred to the inability of social security to provide these health services due to the lack of financial resources at the social security fund as a result of the ongoing financial and economic collapse in the country. It was not intended to place any responsibility on the management of social security in this regard.
