Description (About the Facility)

The Sabha Al-Harazin Health Center, a governmental health center in the Shuja’iya neighborhood, was established with a donation from Palestinian businessman Hammad Al-Harazin[1]. It offers a fourth level of care[S1]  and provides a training center for the Palestinian Board of Family Medicine program[2]. The health center has a drug store and a public health laboratory dedicated to water, food and pharmaceutical testing, the only one in the Gaza Strip[3].

 

The Center's social role 

The Sabha Al-Harazin Health Center offers health seminars inside and outside the center, in schools and mosques[4][5][6], including educational sessions on oral and dental health[7], first aid courses[8], educational lectures for mothers on lactation, preconception care and child health[9][10], security and safety trainings[11], blood donation campaigns[12], awareness lectures on chronic diseases[13], and community educational activities in coordination with the local community[14][15]. 

In August 2023, the health center organized capacity building and emergency response training for primary care centers in collaboration with Doctors Without Borders-Spain[16] and in June 2023 in coordination with the General Directorate of Engineering and Maintenance[17].
