MER-C Indonesia strengthens medical services in the Gaza Strip, Palestine by sending the 13th Emergency Medical Team (EMT) consisting of logistics volunteers and specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Volunteer Nanang Khoirino and dr. Juli Hartati, Sp.KFR were dispatched to the Gaza Strip, Palestine, on Monday (20/4).
Nanang said he would serve in Egypt to support the procurement and distribution of humanitarian assistance for health equipment and other medical supplies to support the operation of the Giving Without Borders Clinic in Khan Younis City, South Gaza.
"The procurement of this health equipment is very important to support health services, especially in Khan Younis, given that the Indonesian MER-C facility is facing a surge in demand with more than 1,000 patients per day, so it needs additional support to strengthen services," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, April 24.
Meanwhile, Dr. Juli plans to serve in Gaza's health facilities that have medical rehabilitation services to treat pain patients, post-amputation patients and people with disabilities, or children with special needs.
Dr. Juli is the first medical rehabilitation doctor sent to the Gaza Strip by MER-C. During his duty, he will also conduct an initial assessment to identify the needs for medical rehabilitation services in the region.
"Because this is the first delivery of rehabilitation doctors, my initial stage will be to assess the needs of medical rehabilitation services in Gaza," he said.
He assessed that the process of delivering humanitarian aid in the midst of the blockade imposed by Israel was not easy and was a major challenge.
"Therefore, we ask for the support of all Indonesian people so that this humanitarian mission can run smoothly and provide the best benefits for our brothers in Gaza," he said.
