PCPM helps communities with difficult access to health care in Palestine

The Polish Center for International Aid is conducting, in cooperation with the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS), a project of mobile clinics and renovation of rooms for receiving patients. Thanks to PCPM's support, a mobile clinic can operate in 32 villages, significantly improving access to medical care for women in particular. The Foundation's project reaches tens of thousands of people.

The first instructors have completed the course! PCPM supports the health care system in Palestine

In the third year of the project, the first ten Palestinian medics have completed the instructor course. They will now be able to pass on the knowledge gained through PCPM. - These trainings were extremely important to me. I recently met a smiling patient whose life I saved. I'm sure I was able to do that thanks to the training organized by the PCPM," says Ismael Alnawaja'a a course participant who is a nurse.

PCPM delivered a mobile clinic and portable Ultrasound

The PCPM Foundation has delivered a new vehicle needed for the mobile clinic. ‘For driving to patients in distant areas, we had to rent a vehicle. The car given by the PCPM will allow us to save a lot of money’ – said doctor Jamil Al-Hamad, the mobile clinic’s staff member. Thanks to the support from the Foundation and the ‘Polish Aid’ development program several thousand people will receive access to i.e. USG examination.

PCPM trains medics in Palestine. We will extreriorize candidates for instructors soon

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.

Palestine – Paramedic system support

Since 1994 Palestinian legal autonomy is issued in the Palestine-Israeli agreement. Ever since the territory has been a temporary administrative structure by the western coast of Jordan (approximately 60% of land) and the Gaza Region (approx. 6000 sq. km), these areas legally go by the name of Palestine.

Palestine needs Polish EMT medics

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.

In spite of the pandemic we are still helping in Palestine

The COVID-19 pandemic has not stopped us in implementing our projects in Palestine. We have managed to finish the First Aid Trainings for the residents of Palestinian area C, where medical help is hardly accessible. We are proud to try some new solutions!

We train medics in the West Bank in Palestine

Although paramedics are not lacking in the West Bank, Palestine, proper training is, and that is what the Polish Centre for International Aid (PCPM) is providing to the Palestinian population.
