Hospitals across the West Bank operate under evolving operational and security constraints that can disrupt access to medical equipment, supplies, and infrastructure upgrades. These challenges are particularly acute for facilities responding to increased service demand, movement restrictions affecting patient referrals, and intermittent disruptions in supply chains.
Strengthening hospital capacity through targeted equipment provision and infrastructure improvements helps ensure that healthcare facilities can maintain safe and effective services, particularly during periods of instability.
Key Interventions
PAMA implemented several targeted interventions during 2025 to strengthen hospital capacity and improve patient care.
- Advanced Diagnostic Equipment
Al-Israa Hospital – Tulkarem
- Provision and installation of a Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) probe
- Strengthened capacity for advanced cardiac diagnostics and intra-operative monitoring
- Supported safer management of complex cardiac and critical care cases
- Infrastructure Support
Shepherds’ Field Hospital – Bethlehem
- Installation of hospital elevators to improve vertical access between departments
- Improved accessibility for emergency patients, patients with disabilities, and individuals with limited mobility
- Enhanced patient flow and operational efficiency
- Emergency Medical Supplies
Jenin Governmental Hospital – Jenin
- Emergency procurement of essential medications and medical supplies
- Initiated in response to heightened hostilities in the Jenin area
- Designed to stabilize hospital operations and prevent service disruptions during periods of insecurity
Procurement and delivery processes for the Jenin intervention were ongoing at the end of 2025.
Target Beneficiaries
The project benefits patients and healthcare workers across several hospitals in the West Bank, including those receiving specialized diagnostic services, emergency care, and inpatient treatment.
Indirect beneficiaries include:
- Healthcare providers whose clinical capacity is strengthened through improved equipment and infrastructure
- Patients requiring advanced diagnostic procedures or emergency services
- Communities relying on these hospitals for essential healthcare services
Service Delivery Impact
These interventions collectively contributed to strengthening healthcare delivery across multiple hospitals in the West Bank by:
- Improving patient safety and diagnostic capacity
- Enhancing accessibility and operational efficiency within hospital facilities
- Strengthening hospital readiness during periods of instability
