Free Surgical Care Program

Free Surgical Care Program at Ibda’a Institution in Dheisheh Refugee Camp – Bethlehem represents one of the most important humanitarian and social dimensions of the organization’s work. It aims to provide direct assistance to individuals and families facing difficult health or economic conditions, particularly cases that require medical interventions, assistive devices, or financial support for treatment costs. Over the years, the program has evolved into an integrated support system that responds to emergency cases as well as ongoing health needs within the camp and surrounding areas.

The program primarily focuses on providing assistive medical devices such as wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, and mobility support tools, helping patients, persons with disabilities, or injured individuals who require temporary or long-term rehabilitation. The institution also coordinates with local hospitals and specialized medical teams to facilitate surgical operations for those in need, especially in fields such as ophthalmology and orthopedic surgery. In addition, it contributes to post-operative care through follow-up and health support to ensure better recovery outcomes for patients.

The institution’s role is not limited to the medical aspect; it also extends to an important social and humanitarian dimension, where cases are individually assessed through specialized committees. Each case is evaluated according to clear criteria to ensure that support reaches the most vulnerable groups. The institution also seeks to strengthen partnerships with medical and community organizations to expand the scope of assistance and reduce the financial burden on families, reflecting its role in promoting social solidarity within the local community.

Overall, this program is considered one of the core pillars of Ibda’a Institution’s work, having contributed over the years to improving the quality of life for dozens of cases in Dheisheh Camp and Bethlehem. It provides practical and effective solutions that combine medical, humanitarian, and social support, enabling beneficiaries to better cope with their health and living conditions in a more stable and dignified way.

In addition, within the framework of its health and humanitarian support program, Ibda’a Institution has developed strong partnerships with several local hospitals and medical centers in Bethlehem and other areas. These partnerships aim to facilitate surgical operations for young men and women from Dheisheh Camp. The cooperation includes a wide range of medical procedures, particularly in ophthalmology, orthopedics, and limb surgeries, where the institution helps refer patients requiring surgery to specialized medical facilities while ensuring close follow-up before and after operations.

This collaborative role between Ibda’a Institution and local hospitals has played a significant part in reducing the financial burden on patients and their families, providing access to treatments that would otherwise be difficult to obtain due to economic constraints. The institution also closely follows up on patients’ recovery processes, maintaining continuous communication and providing necessary support to ensure proper healing. As a result, this partnership has become a practical model of how cooperation between community organizations and the health sector can enhance treatment opportunities and improve the quality of life for young men and women in the local community.
