Abstract

A comprehensive expert-developed hospital assessment tool for CBRN preparedness was created to enhance CBRN preparedness in resource-limited settings like Lebanon. The standarised tool facilitates the evaluation of Lebanese hospitals' readiness. It also guides policymakers and health authorities in developing targeted policies and strategic interventions to strengthen the health sector's CBRN incidents response capabilities.
