The Poor Patient Fund participates in the Support the Palestinian Health Sector Conference held in Beirut
Charity Fund – Darul Fatwa in Lebanon arranged a conference to support the Health sector in Palestine under the slogan “The Pulse will never stop”. The conference was held in Beirut over two days: Thursday and Friday 19-20 April under the auspices of the honourable Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan, grand mufti of Lebanon. It was held in conjunction with the World Medical Association (Medics) and the Turkish Gazze Destek Association supported by Barakah Charity and Humanitarian Association in Algeria.
Approximately 300 individuals attended the conference from 21 countries, representing more than 80 organisations from all corners of the globe. Dr. Malik Abou Rageileh, general director of PIMA and the Middle East representative for Gift of the Givers Foundation – South Africa, represented the Poor Patient Fund. He presented a paper on the success stories and experiences of medical aid in Palestine. The conference explored the role of humanitarian organisations in supporting the Health Sector and preventing its acute and dangerous breakdown in Palestine, and especially in Gaza.
The conference ended with an agreement of understanding between the Charity Fund and a number of specialist organisations participating in the conference.
