WHO provides health facilities in northern Gaza

As part of its 60-day ceasefire plan, WHO is supporting the rehabilitation of health facilities in northern Gaza. Last week, WHO teams visited Al-Shifa Hospital, where WHO will support the expansion of inpatient capacity by 120 beds.

WHO has also supported the rehabilitation of a desalination plant, restoring hemodialysis services to full capacity. In addition, WHO will support the renovation of the neonatal and paediatric intensive care units at Al-Rantisi Hospital.

Additionally, a site has been identified in Gaza City for the establishment of a new primary health care centre, which will serve approximately 40,000 people currently living in the area with very limited access to health services.
