Palestine’s healthcare needs continue to stagger due to limited government capacity and ongoing intermittent conflict in the region. Among the most critical of needs is surgery. Due to shortage of qualified and experienced surgeons and lack of supplies, essential surgical procedures for Palestinians of all ages, from newborn to adult, remain a dire need. IMANA’s presence over the years has helped in addressing these healthcare concerns to improve quality of care for Palestinians. IMANA has been involved by the way of surgical missions and sending in supplies and equipment to Gaza since 2009.

We have been working in partnership with the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) in the West Bank since 2018. Our surgical teams undertake regular surgical missions focusing in the areas of pediatric surgery, complex hand surgery, reconstructive surgery, vascular surgery, and orthopedics. In addition to providing these services, our teams also train local surgeons in these procedures for the continuation of care at all times.
