The official then remarked that Palestine Hospital had been playing a critical role in providing medical services to Palestinian people residing in Egypt or their fellow citizens coming from the besieged Gaza Strip via Rafah.
"This visit is a testament to Baznas' commitment to supporting Palestinian people in Egypt. Hopefully, we will be able to help the hospital boost its capability of providing all the services needed," he concluded.
Meanwhile, Palestine Hospital Director Dr. Nabeel Roshdi Alshawa praised Baznas for its visit and offer of assistance. The director also revealed the plan to inventory the medical equipment the hospital urgently needs.
