    PalMed France holds open day in small village in Palestine

    Aseera Al-Qableyye is a Palestinian village in southern Nablus in the west bank. Its population is estimated at 3000 people and is 600 meters above sea level. It has an agricultural society and enjoys beautiful weather.

    PalMed-France representative Dr. Hamza Thawabi (specialist in cardiology and vascular associates), Dr. Imad khazne (specialist in internal medicine and diabetes at Thabet-Thabet hospital in Tulkarm) and Dr. Mohammed Saleh held an open day in Aseera Al-Qableyye offering free medical services. Free external clinics were set up in the village council.

    The open day focused on the following objectives:

    • Checking blood pressure and raising awareness about this issue.
    • Checking blood sugar levels and raising awareness about this issue.
    • Raising awareness about the dangers of smoking.

    The delegate had a thorough idea regarding the general health in the village and was impressed with the results. However they were surprised by the levels of obesity in the village which are up to 70%.

    At the end of the open day, the mayor, members of the village council and the citizens of the village thanked the participants and asked the delegate to pass on their appreciation to the members of PalMed EU and to Palestinians in Europe. The delegate emphasized the importance of organising further similar events in different villages in the future.

    Inauguration of the blood bank in Dr. Abdulaziz Alranteesi hospital

    Inauguration of the blood bank in Dr. Abdulaziz Alranteesi hospital

    On the 17th of April, a blood bank was opened in Dr. Abdulaziz Alranteesi Speciality Hospital for Children.  The bank gave blood and plasma transfusions to the hospital in addition to other hospitals such as the Nasr Hospital for children, Eye hospital, the Psychiatric hospital and the Mohammed Aldurra hospital for children.

    The blood bank works 24/7 which eased the pressure in Al-Shifaa’ hospital and also eased the pains of Palestinian patients especially children whilst providing special medical services in blood transfusions.

    The blood bank was funded by PalMed-Germany and was constructed via Islamic Relief. The project’s costs totalled up to 82,000 Euros which collected following a meeting that took place in spring 2009 between the two. Dr. Mohammed Salem (head of PalMed EU) and Dr. Mohammed Abu Nada (PalMed’s representative in Gaza and head of the nuoro department at the hospital) checked the project before it launched. Flowers were given out to the patients in different departments to celebrate the opening.
