Story

Provide life-saving equipment to the Al-Shifa Hospital maternity department

The Al-Shifa Hospital is the only one that provides maternity services in the North Gaza and Gaza governorates in the Gaza Strip. A new hospital wing was constructed in December 2020 due to the huge needs which the old hospital was unable to deal with.

In 2019, admissions to gynaecology and maternity wards reached 28,551, causing the hospital to struggle with patients and new cases.

The health ministry is currently unable to purchase the necessary equipment to keep the maternity hospital operating and the ongoing impact of the covid-19 pandemic has further weakened the healthcare system.

Your generous donations will help enhance specialised health services and provide the new maternity department with urgently needed equipment to ensure maternity services can run at full capacity and enhance health services.

With your donations, Islamic Relief will be able to provide life-saving equipment such as new inpatient beds, ECG machines, pulse oximeters, ultrasound technology, examination beds, nursing trollies, medication cabinets and wheelchairs.

£50 can help provide life-saving equipment to the Al-Shifa Hospital maternity department
