A public announcement from the Board of Director of PAMA

PAMA reaffirms its commitment and dedication to delivering vital humanitarian medical assistance by deploying its 10th specialized emergency medical team (EMT) to Gaza in 2024. This mission, sponsored by Islamic Relief USA and with our partner organization JAPA, goes beyond immediate emergency care; it features a specialized nephrologist tasked with conducting an in-depth analysis and assessment of hemodialysis capabilities in local hospitals. This essential evaluation is paving the way for PAMA's 2025 hemodialysis project, designed to support approximately 1,500 patients suffering from kidney failure, ensuring they receive the life-saving treatment they urgently require.
