Emergenza Sorrisi Conducts a Free Medical Day for Diabetes Patients in Askar Camp in Cooperation with Al-Shaab Medical Center
Nablus – 12/05/2026
As part of its ongoing humanitarian and medical outreach programs aimed at supporting vulnerable communities and strengthening primary healthcare services, Emergenza Sorrisi, in cooperation with Al-Shaab Medical Center and hosted by Askar Association, implemented a free medical day dedicated to diabetes patients on Tuesday, 12/05/2026, in Askar New Camp – Nablus.
This activity was implemented under the project “Strengthening Medical and Health Resilience in Palestine” (AID 12273/1/2), funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
The activity witnessed significant community engagement, with approximately 70 beneficiaries receiving comprehensive medical services, including blood pressure measurement, blood glucose monitoring, and general medical consultations provided by the medical team.
In addition, essential medical supplies were distributed according to patients’ needs. Each beneficiary received a box of diabetes syringes to support ongoing treatment and improve access to essential diabetic care supplies.
During the event, Mr. Imad Hassanin, representative of Emergenza Sorrisi, emphasized the importance of continuing humanitarian medical interventions in underserved areas, highlighting the role of such initiatives in bringing healthcare services directly to patients and reducing barriers to treatment.
One of the beneficiaries, Ms. Rouhifa Mallahi, expressed her appreciation for the initiative, stating that the services significantly supported her in managing her condition and obtaining necessary medical supplies. She also praised the quality of organization and the professionalism of the medical staff.
This initiative reflects the ongoing partnership between Emergenza Sorrisi, Al-Shaab Medical Center, and Askar Association as part of broader efforts to strengthen community health resilience and improve access to care for patients with chronic diseases, particularly diabetes, through direct field-based medical interventions.
