Al-Quds:The Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency recently organized a free medical campaign in villages south of Al-Quds, with the support of Moroccan medical group Akdital and in partnership with Astra Lab laboratories. The initiative provided medical consultations and services to nearly 150 residents in these remote areas.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, Baha Al Jabri, Director of Astra Lab laboratories in Bethlehem, highlighted that the medical team offered internal medicine and pediatric services, including laboratory tests and the distribution of medicines. The services were particularly aimed at patients with chronic diseases, such as the elderly and children.

The campaign's examinations identified cases of diabetes and patients requiring ongoing treatment and medical follow-up. Dr. Al Jabri emphasized the importance of regular medical check-ups for early disease detection and improving patient responses to treatment. He noted that some beneficiaries needed further follow-up in internal medicine to diagnose or reassess their treatment.

Dr. Al Jabri also discussed the necessity of deploying mobile clinics in remote areas where healthcare services are scarce in both public and private sectors. He cited financial difficulties faced by residents in accessing urban medical facilities as a significant barrier. The partnership with the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency was praised for addressing these challenges and bringing medical services directly to residents.

Beneficiary Youssef Mohamed Mechaara expressed appreciation for the initiative, having received blood pressure checks, blood tests, and an eye examination. He noted the importance of such medical campaigns for people with limited financial means. Zahia Mohamed Mechaare also benefited from the campaign, acquiring necessary medicines for her husband amidst rising costs and shortages. She called for the continuation and expansion of these initiatives to assist more residents in need.
