To strengthen the healthcare system in Gaza, the Italy branch of PalMed Europe has provided the Urology Department with a lithotripsy (stone fragmentation) device.
This project was implemented in coordination with the Gaza office of PalMed Europe, in response to the severe shortage of surgical equipment across hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which has significantly increased the suffering of patients in need of this type of essential intervention.
This initiative is part of a wider series of projects by PalMed Europe to support Gaza’s healthcare system under extremely difficult humanitarian conditions and severe shortages of medical equipment.
