Outreach
As access to our flagship Jerusalem Hospital becomes increasingly difficult for many Palestinians, we’ve adapted by taking our services to those who need them most.
Today, we deliver expert eye care through four hospitals and three strategically located clinics across Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, alongside two mobile outreach services that reach remote and underserved communities in the West Bank.
Expanding Our Reach in 2024
Despite ongoing regional challenges, 2024 marked a major expansion of our outreach. We launched a new mobile clinic in the northern West Bank, complementing our Jerusalem service now focused on central and southern areas. This has significantly improved access to vital eye care for vulnerable communities.

Comprehensive Care Close to Home
The addition of Nablus to our network ensures that patients in the northern West Bank receive the follow-up care they need without long and difficult journeys. This is a critical step in our mission to provide comprehensive, continuous care to the most marginalised communities.
Partner Profile: CARE International
One of the most powerful ways we’re expanding our reach is through our long-standing partnership with CARE International, a global humanitarian organisation with whom we’ve worked for over 60 years.
Together, we recently established a dedicated mobile outreach clinic serving the six northern governorates — Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqilya, Salfit, and Tubas. This collaboration ensures that even the most remote and underserved communities receive quality eye care.
