Through the dedicated efforts of a group of Palestinian doctors residing in the Kingdom of Spain, the legal procedures for registering the Palestinian Doctors Association in Europe – Spain Branch (PalMed Spain) have been successfully completed and approved by the Spanish authorities.

To celebrate this milestone, the founding members held a large gathering attended by Palestinian doctors from various regions across Spain. Members of PalMed Europe’s Executive Board also joined the meeting, during which the institutional relationship between the main organisation and the new branch — based on cooperation, coordination, and complementarity — was outlined.

The meeting was conducted in a spirit of collegiality and commitment, with participants expressing their readiness to fulfil their professional responsibilities in serving the Palestinian medical community in Spain. The branch aims to bring together Palestinian healthcare professionals, harness their expertise and energy, and unite their efforts to support and advance the Palestinian healthcare sector.

On behalf of the PalMed Europe Board and all its members across the continent, we warmly congratulate our colleagues in Spain on the establishment of this new branch. We wish them every success in their mission to serve our people in Palestine and the diaspora.

Together, we heal wounds.
