Our Story

Founded to connect a growing field

The Lebanese Society for Health Informatics (LSHI) was established in June 2026 by a small group of healthcare professionals and researchers specialized in health informatics who recognized the need to promote and drive the field of health informatics in Lebanon. The society obtained official recognition by concerned authorities as not-for-profit association (registration number 704).
