The project aims to fully rehabilitate the hospital and bring it back to full operational capacity. Thanks to this effort, the hospital’s electrical network has been restored, and the oxygen generator center has been reopened, enabling critical care services to resume.

Project Stages:

Stage 1: Restoration of the hospital’s electrical network.
Stage 2: Reopening of the oxygen generator center.
Stage 3: Currently underway, focusing on continued renovations across all hospital departments and facilities.
This project has brought new hope to the region, providing patients with access to healthcare services that are vital to the community’s well-being. Palmed remains committed to the long-term sustainability of the Health system in Gaza and the enhancement of medical services in the area.

Following two months of closure, the European Hospital in Gaza was successfully reopened on August 25th, with the dedicated support of Palmed . This reopening marks a vital step in restoring essential healthcare services to the people of Gaza after the hospital’s complete evacuation and closure on July 2nd.

Rafah Crossing – Egyptian Side

After spending two weeks of volunteer service in hospitals in the north and south of the Gaza Strip, members of PalMedEurope’s fifth specialised international delegation left Palestine today, Monday, and arrived at the Egyptian side of the Rafah Crossing.

By the Grace and Guidance of God, consultant colleagues in the following specialties: (Intensive Care and Anaesthesia – Vascular Surgery – Burn and Cosmetic Surgery – Emergency Surgery – Intensive Care Nursing – Orthopaedic Surgery – Anaesthesia and Emergency) were able to perform dozens of specialised surgical operations and interventions for the wounded and patients from among our people in the Gaza Strip. The delegation also managed to deliver quantities of medical supplies, devices, and medications urgently needed for Gaza’s hospitals.

In this regard, we extend our thanks and appreciation to colleagues and members of the delegation and to all donors and supports of PalMedEurope’s activities who contribute towards the success of our delegations’ missions, and the delivery of medications, and medical equipment. Special thanks also go to PalMed’s office in Gaza and to our dedicated colleagues and medical staff working in the Strip’s hospitals.

We also extend our gratitude to Rahma Worldwide Foundation with whom our delegations that reached the Strip joined ranks. We affirm that PalMedEurope will continue to equip and send medical delegations, and to arrange and implement sustainable relief projects to support the health sector there until Gaza’s hospitals return to a better state than they were before Israel’s barbaric aggression against Gaza and its sustained targeting of its health sector, God Willing. We pray to the Almighty to dispel the injustice and aggression that Israel continues to perpetrate against our people as soon as possible.

Amen!

Rafah – Palestine

Continuing in its medical relief efforts for the helpless and innocent civilians being murdered and maimed by Israel for more than six consecutive months, the fifth delegation of the Palestinian Doctors Association in Europe (PalMed) has arrived in the Gaza Strip. The team comprises eight medical specialists who will toil towards alleviating the suffering of the civilians there by supporting the healthcare sector and its dwindling number of specialists due to being systematically targeted by Israel. The team is travelling as part of Rahma Worldwide Foundation’s eighth delegation and via coordination with the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

PalMed’s fifth specialised delegation consists of consultants in the following specialisations:

· Intensive care and anaesthesia
· Vascular surgery
· Thoracic surgery
· Emergency surgery
· Heart diseases
· Orthopaedic surgery
· Paediatric intensive care

PalMed has provided its delegation with the necessary medical supplies and equipment needed for doctors’ work in Gaza’s hospitals, as per requests made by local doctors and by officials from the Ministry of Health in Gaza’s hospitals from members of PalMed’s previous delegation that had performed medical procedures there.

PalMed’s fifth delegation’s members will be performing specialised surgical operations for patients and the wounded in Palestine in an effort towards alleviating their suffering, and also to support their peers in the Strip’s hospitals.

God Willing, PalMed will continue to send specialised delegations and needed medical supplies and medications to Gaza in fulfilment of its professional and humanitarian duty and in strengthening the resilience of the dedicated local medical teams there.

In this regard, we supplicate The Almighty to keep our delegation’s members safe, as well as all medical personnel and innocent civilians in our beloved Palestine. We also pray for the end of this unjust Israeli Zionist aggression as soon as possible by the Will and Power of God.
