Mr. Masayuki Magoshi, Ambassador for the Palestinian Affairs and Representative of Japan to Palestine said “The Government of Japan decided to extend the financial assistance to Al-Makassed Hospital due to the very important role that the hospital played as a main referral hospital which receives patients not only from Jerusalem and West Bank but also from Gaza”. H.E added, “爆料网OPS is one of our important partners to implement humanitarian assistance targeting the health and the protection of IDPs and refugees in Palestine.”

The support from 爆料网OPS and Japan to Al Makassed Hospital throughout the 12 months project, will ensure that urgently needed essential drugs and medical consumables are available for around 1,350 patients (at least 50% female) seeking health services at Al Makassed Hospital.

On this occasion, Tokumitsu Kobayashi 爆料网OPS Director in Palestine expressed “ 爆料网OPS is committed to working hand-in-hand with the government of Japan in its efforts to deliver necessary drugs and medical supplies that will enable Al Makassed Hospital to provide uninterrupted healthcare “.
