The surgical medical services in the Gaza Strip are developing rapidly, where we see the spirit of persistence and rapid acquisition of medical expertise compared to its counterparts of the world.
Open-Heart Surgery Services, which the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza restored in the last April this year by the local medical staff, led by Dr. Mohammed Nassar, Open Heart Consultant, performed three days a week at EGH starting from 8 am to 10 pm, has a success rate of more than 98%. Dr. Nassar has been able to perform more than 80 surgeries since the re-opening of the department.
Dr. Nassar attributed the high success rates of cardiac surgery to the high skills of the local medical staff, which has been acquired from the specialized international medical delegations expertise. He pointed to the modern existing equipment, stationed at the European Gaza Hospital, which was provided with generous support from the Qatar Red Crescent “QRCS”.
Since dozens of cases need open-heart operations face rejection and political challenges by the Israeli occupation, in addition to procrastination in the issuance of medical referrals. In this context, MOH worked on settling the surgical services in the Gaza Strip and maintain its continuity and development; in the light of the Israeli occupation continuous siege for more than 13 years.
