In this regard, Dr. Omar Abu Zaidah, General Director of Al-Makassed Hospital, appreciated this generous initiative from Palestine Bank, which aims to provide mobile housing units (caravans) for patient companions coming from the West Bank and Gaza.

He noted that the bank continues to make distinctive marks in supporting the health sector and other vital sectors, expressing hope for the continuation of this fruitful cooperation between the two sides to serve patients and enhance the resilience of the hospital in fulfilling its humanitarian and national mission.
