The prolonged humanitarian crisis in Gaza has placed enormous pressure on the healthcare system. Damage to medical facilities, supply chain disruptions, and increasing patient needs have created severe shortages of essential medications and medical disposables.
Hospitals and health facilities depend on a continuous supply of medications and consumables to manage emergency cases, perform surgical procedures, treat infections, and support patients with chronic diseases. When these supplies are unavailable, healthcare providers face significant challenges in delivering safe and effective care.
Ensuring the regular availability of essential medications and medical consumables is therefore critical to maintaining hospital functionality and preventing treatment interruptions.
