The Challenge

Thousands of patients across Gaza are living with complex wounds that require specialized care, while hospitals continue to operate under extraordinary constraints.

The Gaza Strip is facing one of the most severe wound care crises in recent history. Siege, repeated mass casualty events, and the near-collapse of essential infrastructure have left tens of thousands of people living with complex trauma injuries, chronic wounds, and life-threatening infections.

Hospitals are overwhelmed, and essential wound care supplies—including sterile dressings, antiseptic solutions, and surgical instruments—are critically scarce. At the same time, displacement, contaminated water, and deteriorating sanitation conditions are driving a surge in wound infections that are increasingly difficult to control.

Many injuries that would normally heal with standard treatment are now becoming chronic, non-healing, and life-threatening. Malnutrition, weakened immune systems, and exposure to multidrug-resistant bacteria further increase the risk of sepsis, disability, and preventable amputations.

Specialized wound care has become an essential component of emergency and early recovery health services in Gaza.

Building the System

Specialized wound care is more than treatment. It requires trained clinicians, standardized protocols, coordinated care, and reliable access to essential equipment.

Strengthening Clinical Capacity

In response to this urgent need, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has identified specialized wound care as a national health priority and developed a standardized wound care protocol to support consistent, evidence-based treatment across Gaza.

Working in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Glia is helping strengthen this system by supporting hospital-based wound care teams, expanding clinical capacity, and improving access to essential medical technologies and supplies.

Together, these efforts are helping build a coordinated network of specialized wound care services capable of meeting both today's emergency needs and tomorrow's long-term recovery.

Delivering Specialized Wound Care

Specialized wound care extends beyond the hospital, delivering coordinated, evidence-based care wherever patients need it.

The program combines hospital-based treatment, mobile outreach, clinical training, standardized protocols, and partnership with the Palestinian Ministry of Health to build a coordinated network of specialized wound care services across Gaza.

Hospital-Based Care

Evidence-based wound care delivered by specialized teams within partner hospitals for patients with acute and chronic wounds.

Mobile Outreach

Specialized wound care is delivered directly to patients in displacement camps and underserved communities.

Clinical Training

Hands-on training, mentorship, and continuing education that strengthen local clinical expertise.

Standardized Protocols

Evidence-based clinical protocols that ensure consistent, high-quality wound care across every treatment setting.

Ministry Partnership

Developed with the Palestinian Ministry of Health to strengthen Gaza's wound care system.

Delivering Care Where It's Needed Most

Specialized wound care reaches patients wherever they are—from hospitals to displacement camps—ensuring access to expert treatment even in the most challenging conditions.

Every patient presents a unique challenge, but every visit follows the same commitment to evidence-based, patient-centred care. Working alongside local clinicians and the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Glia's specialized wound care teams provide treatment, mentorship, and continuity of care across a wide range of clinical settings.

Care in Hospitals

Patients with complex wounds often require advanced assessment, infection management, and ongoing treatment within a hospital setting. Working alongside multidisciplinary clinical teams, Glia's specialized wound care clinicians provide evidence-based treatment while strengthening local expertise and supporting consistent standards of care across partner hospitals.

Care in Communities

For many patients, reaching a hospital simply isn't possible. Mobile wound care teams bring specialized assessment, treatment, dressing changes, follow-up care, and patient education directly into communities, improving continuity of care while reducing barriers to treatment.

Strengthening Local Expertise

Every patient interaction is also an opportunity to strengthen Gaza's healthcare system. Through bedside mentoring, collaborative case management, and hands-on education, experienced wound care clinicians build the skills and confidence of local healthcare professionals, helping ensure high-quality specialized wound care continues to grow across Gaza.

Program Progress

Transparent reporting helps measure progress, guide decision-making, and demonstrate the growing impact of Gaza's Specialized Wound Care Program.

Clinical activity is updated monthly to reflect services delivered through the Specialized Wound Care Program. By sharing this data openly, we aim to strengthen accountability, improve patient care, and provide partners with a clear view of the program's ongoing growth.
