Polish Center for International Aid has been acting in Palestine for years now. Within the Palestinian Advanced Trauma Life Support course's framework, we train medics, who will be a training staff's cornerstone in instructing future medical practitioners in Palestine. One of the most common injuries is gunshot wounds, so having a qualified and capable medical staff.
People wounded during warfare and cancer patients from Ukraine go to Norway, Sweden, Germany, or France for treatment. The Polish Center for International Aid Foundation's newly established Medical Transit Center in Rzeszow runs for that kind of people.
We continue to operate in Palestine, where we train medical staff and increase access and quality of medical care for residents of excluded areas. The project is co-financed within the framework of the Polish development cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland.
