Why Major Gifts Matter?
In recent years, some 44% of our running costs have been covered by patient-related income – private payments from patients who can afford to contribute, as well as from insurance schemes. Additional funding has come from both voluntary donations and partner agencies such as UNRWA and USAID. However, ongoing political instability both in the region and globally is making it more difficult to secure these traditional sources of funding. As a result, our ability to continue delivering expert care to the most vulnerable – refugees, children, the elderly and those living in poverty, relies more than ever on the generosity of our supporters.
