About Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)
MAP is a UK-based NGO with a strong track-record in delivering medical resources in the West Bank and Gaza. It also plays a central role in developing health infrastructure in the Palestinian Territories under the increasing strain of an externally enforced blockade.
“Re-building Gaza’s health infrastructure”
Dr. John McCabe, a non-consultant hospital doctor (NCHD), and one of the organisers of the event said:
“We are delighted to host this event on behalf of Medical Aid for Palestinians. The people of Kildare have displayed great solidarity with Palestine in the recent turbulent times. The devastation to medical facilities in Gaza caused by multiple conflicts is a story that has been forgotten. Infrastructural damage to health-centres, water and sanitation facilities has seriously impacted access to healthcare for Palestinians. The work of organisations like Medical Aid for Palestinians is essential to the re-building process.”
