Gaza Faces Critical Shortage of Obstetric Care: Urgent Call for Surgical Teams
Gaza is currently experiencing a severe shortage of Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (CEMONC) services, leaving many pregnant women without the essential medical attention they require. The scarcity is primarily due to a lack of surgical capacities in field hospitals across the region. As a result, these healthcare facilities are unable to provide necessary obstetric and gynecological procedures.
The situation demands immediate action, with a pressing need to deploy specialized surgical obstetric and gynecology teams to existing hospitals. This will ensure that pregnant women in Gaza receive the critical care they need during this vulnerable period. Healthcare providers and international aid organizations are urged to collaborate and address this dire situation promptly to prevent further maternal and infant health crises.
JHAS is committed to monitoring the situation closely and advocating for rapid response and support to meet the healthcare needs of pregnant women in Gaza.
