The Socio-Medical Mutual Fund was founded in 1992 as a non-profit health-care coverage provider.
The fund aims to spread the spirit of mutuality amongst the Christians of Lebanon, by helping them carry the burden of their health-care costs as well as offering adherents aid in the areas of: scholarships, social aid, family support, etc….
Our vision is to enhance our services by removing exclusions from our health-care plan.
Our mission is to spread the spirit of mutuality in Lebanon, by providing the best in class health-care coverage to all our adherents at the best possible market rate.
