Baznas to Provide Medical Equipment to Palestine Hospital in Cairo

Jakarta, The Gulf Observer: The National Alms Agency (Baznas) has announced its commitment to supplying medical equipment to Palestine Hospital in Cairo, Egypt, to assist Palestinian residents injured by Israel’s indiscriminate attacks. The decision was made following a visit by Baznas Head, Noor Achmad, who assessed the hospital’s needs.

“During our visit, we were briefed on the worrying conditions of patients from Gaza. Palestine Hospital highlighted the need to increase its capacity and rejuvenate its old medical equipment,” Noor Achmad noted in the agency’s statement received on Tuesday.

Achmad utilized his visit to discuss the hospital’s urgent needs and explored the potential for Baznas to contribute to the provision of necessary medical equipment and medicines.

“Palestine Hospital spotlighted the need for proper services for patients coming from conflict zones. The provision of medical equipment and medicines is expected to help elevate the quality of the hospital’s medical services,” he pointed out. He also emphasized the critical role that Palestine Hospital plays in providing medical services to Palestinian people residing in Egypt and those coming from the besieged Gaza Strip via Rafah.

“This visit is a testament to Baznas’ commitment to supporting Palestinian people in Egypt. Hopefully, we will be able to help the hospital boost its capability of providing all the services needed,” Achmad concluded.

Meanwhile, Palestine Hospital Director Dr. Nabeel Roshdi Alshawa praised Baznas for its visit and offer of assistance. He revealed plans to inventory the medical equipment the hospital urgently needs and noted that the hospital would inform the Indonesian Embassy in Cairo about the list of equipment and medicines required.

Baznas’ initiative reflects a broader effort to support Palestinian communities affected by ongoing conflicts, ensuring they receive the necessary medical care and resources.
