Protecting health and preserving dignity.
Conflict, displacement, damaged infrastructure, and shortages of medicines and medical supplies have significantly reduced access to healthcare across Gaza. Families living in shelters, camps, and underserved communities face increased risks from communicable diseases, chronic conditions, interrupted treatment, dehydration, and other preventable health complications.
Program Purpose
The Health & Medical Care Program improves access to essential medicines, basic clinical services, health screening, referral support, and community-based medical care for people who face barriers to formal healthcare.
Key Program Activities
- Distribute essential medicines and medical supplies for urgent and ongoing treatment needs.
- Organize medical days in displacement shelters and underserved communities.
- Deploy mobile medical teams and community outreach services.
- Provide medical consultations, basic examinations, and health screenings.
- Support patients with chronic illnesses and people requiring continued treatment.
- Provide maternal, child, and older-person health support within the scope of available services.
- Deliver health awareness activities focused on prevention, early care, and safe health practices.
- Coordinate referrals for patients who require specialized assessment or treatment.
