Summary
Background
For pregnant women, timely access to medical care can be critical, particularly when
complications arise.
In a village just ten minutes from a hospital in Hebron, reaching medical services is not
always straightforward. Checkpoints, closures and movement restrictions can create serious
difficulties for families seeking urgent assistance.
During her visit to the area, Sister Haifa witnessed these challenges firsthand and met with
Dr Ghassan, a dedicated doctor working to provide essential healthcare to his community.
Dr Ghassan explained that the clinic has been facing increasing demands for emergency
care, yet its limited resources prevent it from being adequately equipped.
The clinic currently faces several challenges:
● A shortage of suitable beds for emergency maternity care and childbirth
● Limited essential medical equipment
● Insufficient resources to prepare a dedicated emergency maternity room
● Difficulties accessing hospital services during closures and emergencies
● Growing pressure on local healthcare providers to respond to urgent medical needs
Dr Ghassan showed Sister Haifa an existing room that is currently being used to store old
and unusable equipment.
Although the space requires preparation and medical equipment, it has the potential to
become a dedicated facility for women’s urgent healthcare needs.
With the right resources, this space could provide an important additional point of
care for mothers who face difficulties reaching hospital services.
Aims
This campaign aims to support the development and equipping of a dedicated emergency
maternity room in Hebron.
Donations will help fund:
● Appropriate maternity and delivery beds to replace unsuitable existing facilities
● Essential emergency medical equipment required for maternity assessments and
care
● Preparation of the designated room, including clearing the space and making it
suitable for clinical use
● Necessary medical supplies to support the provision of urgent maternal healthcare
● Safe clinical readiness, including any additional equipment and preparations
required before services can begin
The aim is to establish a properly equipped space where qualified healthcare professionals
can provide appropriate maternity assessments and emergency care within the clinics
authorised capabilities.
Outcomes
Without support:
● The proposed emergency maternity room will remain unequipped.
● Pregnant women may continue facing difficulties accessing timely medical
assistance.
● Dr Ghassan and his colleagues will remain limited by the clinic’s existing resources.
● Opportunities to strengthen local emergency maternity services will remain
unrealised.
With your help:
● The existing room can be prepared and equipped for essential maternity care.
● Suitable medical beds and equipment can become available for qualified healthcare
professionals.
● The clinic can strengthen its ability to respond to women’s urgent healthcare needs.
● Mothers and families can benefit from improved access to local medical support.
● The community can move towards a safer and more reliable maternity care service.
