It is good that they opened such a medical center in Taanayel. Metropolitan Anthony and Deacon Arsenius were present, this shows that the Church supports useful initiatives for people. I hope it helps many families out there.

Мария Колева

Yes, the center in Taanayel will be of great benefit, especially to families in the Bekaa, where access to medical care is often difficult. I am glad that Bishop Anthony and Deacon Arsenius went - the Church should be where people need. Do you know anyone from these places, Elijah?

It is good that they have opened this medical center in Teanail. Metropolitan Antonios and deacon Arsenios went and this shows that the Church stands by such jobs that help families in the area. I hope it serves many, because things are difficult in the Bekaa Valley.

Yes, it's good that they opened this medical center right in Teanaiel, where access to a doctor is complicated for so many families in the Bekaa. I am glad that Metropolitan Antonie and Deacon Arsenie were there, it shows that the Church is close to people in need. I hope it helps many, especially in the summer when the heat brings all kinds of problems.

Yes, Eleni, Teanail needed such a center, especially for the families who find it difficult to get all the way to Beirut. I was glad that Metropolitan Antonios went with the deacon Arsenios; it shows that the Church does not stay away from daily needs. Have you been there lately?

Παναγιώτης Νικολαΐδης

Yes, Teanail is far from Beirut and many families there are struggling. I was glad that the Metropolitan went with the deacon Arsenios, he shows a real presence. I passed through the area two months ago for work and saw that the building was still unfinished, so I'm glad it's finished. How did you hear the news?

It’s good that the center was opened in Taana’il - medicine is really difficult there in Bekaa, especially in the summer. It’s nice that Metropolitan Anthony and Deacon Arseny were there; the Church should be close to such matters. I wonder if they have already started accepting people or have they just cut the ribbon?

Емил Атанасов

Yes, the center in Taanayel will really help many families from the Bekaa, especially when the roads are bad or there is no gas. Bishop Anthony and the deacon are right to go there. I know a driver from Zalka who often passes through Taanayel - he says people wait for hours for an examination. Have you been to these villages recently, Maria?

Тамара Семёнова

Yes, Taanail is a good place; doctors are really tight there, especially when it’s hot. Metropolitan Anthony often attends such openings; this is not the first time for him. Have you been to those parts yourself in the summer?

Κώστας Παπαδόπουλος

Yes, Teanail is indeed far for those without a car, I remember my mum going for exams and coming back exhausted. I was glad that Metropolitan Antonios went with Father Arsenios, it shows that the Church supports the minutes. How did you hear the news from friends in the area?

Олег Фёдоров

No, I haven’t been to Taanaile in the summer, but I’ve heard that the medical situation there is really tense, especially in the heat. Metropolitan Anthony is great for coming to such openings, it’s important for people. Do you go there often?

Αναστασία Μιχαηλίδου

Yes, Teanail needs such a center, especially now in the summer when commuting becomes more difficult. I was glad that the Metropolitan went with the deacon Arsenios, it shows that the Church supports closely. I passed by there last year to see my aunt and I remember how much the surrounding villages were suffering; how did you learn the news, Vasiliki?
