Since October 2021, MAP has been supporting the efficiency and effectiveness of vascular surgery services in Gaza. This follows an assessment that found vascular services in Gaza failed to meet international standards and are plagued by huge shortages in medical supplies, and gaps in human resources.
Through bespoke training for Palestinian staff, supporting Gaza’s vascular surgery board training programme, providing medical supplies and equipment, raising awareness about vascular diseases in communities, and supporting the development of systems of care and appropriate referral pathways, MAP is aiming to address the gaps identified in vascular services and improve the quality of care for patients.
