Rehabilitation and Equipping of the Operating Theatre at Al-Wafaa Hospital in Gaza City
Continuing the efforts of the Palestinian Medical Association in Europe – Denmark Branch in supporting the healthcare sector in Gaza, the association has successfully rehabilitated and equipped an operating theatre at Al-Wafaa Hospital in Gaza City to strengthen surgical capacity and improve access to essential medical care under extremely challenging conditions.
Following the completion of the operating theatre refurbishing, several surgical procedures were performed immediately, addressing the urgent needs of a large number of patients who had been waiting for various surgical interventions. This initiative has contributed to reducing pressure on healthcare workers and improving timely access to life-saving surgical services.
This project comes as part of ongoing support for the Palestinian Health system early recovery plan for healthcare institutions in Gaza, many of which have suffered extensive destruction during the prolonged conflict, resulting in severe damage to the healthcare infrastructure and an urgent need for rehabilitation.
In this context, PalMed reaffirms its continued commitment to fulfilling its humanitarian and professional responsibilities by mobilizing its financial and human resources to support the healthcare sector in Gaza and across Palestine, working closely with local and international partners to strengthen the resilience of the healthcare system and ensure access to medical care for those in need.
