The Australian Lebanese Medical Association (ALMA NSW) recently gathered for two special events to honour distinguished leaders and strengthen our community connections ✨

We were deeply privileged to host Her Excellency Mirna Khawly, Ambassador of Lebanon, for a private dinner at Al Aseel Parramatta, offering our sincere gratitude for Her Excellency’s dedicated service and support.⭐️

We were also honored to meet with His Excellency Raymond Chamlati, Consul General of Lebanon in Sydney, to discuss shared goals for strengthening our community.🌟

During this evening at Massaya Restaurant, we took the opportunity to celebrate Dr Emad Berro OAM following his King’s Birthday Honours recognition for outstanding contributions to healthcare and community service.💫

Thank you to everyone who joined us for these memorable occasions! ✨
