The tent-set up clinic has provided medical services to 10,000 patients from densely populated areas, with the majority of cases dealt with relating to infections and other common diseases.

BSMI Secretary General Muhamad Rudi said that the Indonesian Clinic in Gaza has successfully operated and proved to be urgently needed by the people of Gaza.

“Even reports from Gaza, many patients come all the way from the clinic site because there are not many Health facilities that can operate inside Gaza,” Rudi said in a statement on Tuesday (24/9/2024).

Rudi said that one of the operational challenges of the Indonesian Clinic in Gaza is the availability of medicine supplies. He said that at the moment it continues to try to ensure that the supply of drugs can run smoothly.

Amin Al-Nawajha reports the Indonesian Clinic in Gaza focuses on treating various types of injuries and diseases that often appear in high-risk areas such as Gaza. Some of the medical conditions most faced by a team of doctors are infectious wounds, skin rashes and allergies, acute tonsillitis, burn treatments, chest infections and gastritis or digestive problems.

Amin Al-Nawajha said the need for medical services in Gaza, especially in Khan Younis, was urgent. “We are very committed to continuing to provide the best health care to the people here. As a recipient of a scholarship from BSMI, I am very grateful for this support and hope that we can continue to expand services to more people in need,” said dr. Amen.

The clinic was established as a form of solidarity and concern of the Indonesian people for the suffering of the people of Gaza. BSMI, Rudi said, hopes that the Indonesian Clinic in Khan Younis can continue to operate and provide great benefits to the local community, while becoming a symbol of friendship between Indonesians and Palestinians.
