GAZA, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) Seven mobile clinics have been established in the Gaza Strip to treat coronavirus cases and ease the burden on the Hamas-run Health Ministry.
Hussam al-Safady, a project coordinator at the non-government Caritas Foundation that set up the clinics, said that each mobile clinic has a doctor, a nurse and a driver, whose responsibilities are to visit patients homes, follow up on their health conditions, and provide them with medicine and necessary equipment.
The Caritas Foundation, an international medical institution designed to deal with marginalized patients in critical times, has decided to establish mobile clinics in the coastal enclave to provide ordinary Palestinians with medical assistance they needed, since the Gaza health authority declared its first two cases of the virus in March 2020, according to al-Safady.
