Ramadan is the month of giving, and through the generosity of our donors, PCRF is sponsoring iftar meals for children being treated in the department, their mothers, and the staff at Dr. Musa and Suhaila Nasir Pediatric Cancer Department in Gaza. PCRF is grateful to our global community of volunteers and donors who ensure these children receive the best care possible. This department opened in February 2019; it is the first and only pediatric oncology department for children in the Gaza Strip. Prior to the opening, every child in Gaza with cancer had to travel outside - often away from his or her family - for care. The new department has 16 rooms and 14 outpatient beds, as well as a playroom, lab, pharmacy, and many other amenities that were not found before in any hospital in Gaza. PCRF also provides tutoring for children during their stay in the department and many other child-life services. This is the first and only hospital in Gaza that provides such care for sick children.
