The Jerusalem hospitals network needs approx $7 million USD in order to deal with the spread of the coronavirus for the next 4 to 5 months.

MAP has been working closely to support the Palestinian Ministry of Health and the East Jerusalem hospital network as part of our emergency response the coronavirus. Since the pandemic began, we have responded by prioritising infection control measures and the provision of PPE for healthWorkers across all areas of operation.

In Palestine and Lebanon, MAP has been working hard to slow virus transmission by procuring and distributing vital antiseptics and disinfectants such as chlorhexidine, ethyl alcohol, glutaraldehyde and povidone iodine.

Recently there has been a surge of new coronavirus infections, and related deaths, among Palestinian communities in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Full PPE kits are needed when caring for patients with a suspected or confirmed coronavirus infection. Key PPE items (face masks and gloves), combined with hand sanitiser, are vital to limiting hospital-based transmission of the virus, and protecting healthWorkers.

We have launched a new emergency Appeal in response to the surge – We need your support to get PPE, COVID_19 testing kits and disenfectants that is urgently needed to help save lives.
