Prof.Nizar Bitar

Please bring a valid ID, your insurance or NSSF details, and anything that helps tell your story: recent blood tests, scans or imaging (discs or reports), any biopsy or pathology results, and a list of the medicines you currently take. If you’ve been treated elsewhere, earlier reports are very helpful. Don’t worry if something is missing; we’ll work with whatever you have.

Yes. Professor Bitar regularly reviews diagnoses and treatment plans begun elsewhere, whether you’d like reassurance that you’re on the right path or a fresh look at the options. Bring your existing reports and he’ll go through them with you carefully and explain what he would advise.

Most major Lebanese insurers and NSSF coverage are accepted. Because the details differ from one policy to the next, it’s best to confirm your specific coverage with your insurer before the visit, and our team is glad to help you check what applies to you.

We know a new cancer diagnosis feels urgent and frightening, so we make every effort to see new patients quickly, usually within a few days. When you book, let us know it’s a new diagnosis and we’ll prioritise your appointment.

Consultations take place at the main clinic in Zaarour Center, and treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy or infusions are given in the hospital’s day-care unit under Professor Bitar’s supervision, with the nursing team beside you. He also consults at Khoury Hospital. Keeping everything connected means your care stays consistent from visit to visit.

Yes. Patients travelling from abroad are welcome, and we can often arrange a remote consultation to review your reports before you travel. Send your documents ahead of time and we’ll help you plan the visit so your trip is as smooth as possible.

Your results are reviewed with you, in person or by call for follow-ups, so they’re always explained in plain language and in context, never left as numbers on a page. Anything urgent is communicated to you as soon as it becomes available.
