A new $3 million three-storey health centre being developed in the Jalazone refugee camp in the West Bank is set to provide medical care to around 17,000 Palestinian refugees, with a Bahrain humanitarian delegation inspecting progress on the project.
The team from the Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF), led by acting secretary-general engineer Ibrahim Al Dossary, visited the site to review construction work and the latest stages of the project.
The centre is being built by the RHF in co-operation with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
The delegation toured the construction site and reviewed work completed in accordance with the approved plans, as well as the facilities and services planned for the centre.
Spanning around 1,600 square metres, the facility will house a wide range of medical services under one roof. These will include paediatrics, family planning and midwifery, dental care, radiology, emergency services, physiotherapy and a pharmacy, alongside other supporting facilities.
The project is designed to provide refugees living in Jalazone with more accessible and comprehensive healthcare, while helping improve the camp’s wider health and environmental conditions.
The RHF said the centre forms part of efforts to create a safer and more integrated healthcare environment for Palestinian refugees and respond to the medical needs of an estimated 17,000 people.
The project also reflects Bahrain’s continuing humanitarian support for Palestinian communities, with the RHF working alongside international partners to develop facilities that address essential healthcare needs.
