On August 4, 2020, Beirut experienced the largest urban explosion since Hiroshima and Nagasaki when 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate detonated in the port area. In a city of 2 million citizens, 220 died, 6,000 were injured, and hundreds were missing. The city’s hospitals were severely damaged, with many patients injured or killed in the explosion and forcing multiple hospitals to evacuate their unharmed patients. The semifunctional remaining hospitals were then overwhelmed with injuries from the three-second explosion.

The American College of Surgeons’ International Relations Committee and Committee on Trauma co-host this webinar that will explore the trauma and mass casualty experience in Beirut, including an early look at the outcomes of the injured patients from that day.

Register and join this webinar today, September 24th at 5 PM Beirut Time (9 AM CDT), to hear lessons learned from those on the ground on that day in Beirut with a Q&A following panel presentations:
Introductory Remarks - Haytham Kaafarani, MD, MPH, FACS
Caring for the Injured - Jamal Hoballah, MD, MBA, FACS
Caring for the Noninjured - Bassem Safadi, MD, FACS
Evacuating Your Hospital, George Juvelekian, MD
Closing Remarks, Eileen Bulger, MD, FACS

A panel of international thought leaders will provide their perspective on surgical care and disease management during COVID-19.
