With the numbers of injuries and open wounds in desperate need of medical intervention, UOSSM USA, in partnership with UOSSM Canada, and Islamic Relief Canada, launched the advanced wound care health project in Gaza.
The goal of this health project is to enhance trauma care capabilities and response to war wounds and other wounds in Gaza by distributing vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) devices and delivering essential medications and medical supplies.
Through the combined efforts of providing advanced wound care technology and ensuring the availability of essential medical supplies, this project aims to create a comprehensive support system for patients with wounds, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and a stronger healthcare infrastructure in Gaza.
To date, we have received and delivered 23 pallets of essential medical supplies and over 1000 Wound VAC Devices in Gaza, and have provided medical services including advanced treatment with wound VAC devices, medical consultations (outpatient and inpatient services, and home visits), and surgeries in Gaza to 3950 patients.
Watch this video to learn more about this project and the “Wound VAC” device being used.
