In April 2013 PCRF opened the first public pediatric cancer center in Palestine - the Huda Al Masri Pediatric Cancer Department - in Beit Jala Hospital near Bethlehem in the West Bank. This department was named after our founding head social worker, Huda Al Masri, who passed away in 2009 from leukemia. Since it's opening, hundreds of sick children have had expert medical care that they otherwise would not have gotten for free in the department thanks to generous donors all over the world. In February 2019 PCRF opened Dr. Musa and Suhaila Nasir Pediatric CancerDepartment in Gaza City, the first cancer center for kids in Gaza. Both departments are privately funded and provide children in Palestine care they otherwise cannot get locally for free.

For 25 years, PCRF has been helping children in the Middle East by leading Medical Missions into the Middle East, arranging for children to receive medical care through Treatment Abroad, and sponsoring Humanitarian Programs.

In response to the urgent needs of children in Palestine, Jordan, and Lebanon, PCRF runs a wide range of ongoing programs and one-time projects to address the humanitarian needs brought on by poverty, war, occupation, and siege.

The PCRF is the main nonprofit in the world sponsoring and running international volunteer medical teams to work in public hospitals in Palestine and in Lebanon's refugee camps to provide free specialized care for sick and injured children who otherwise would not get the care that they need. Thousands of doctors and nurses from the USA, Italy, Chile, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia, Egypt, Canada, Switzerland, and many other countries give their time and expertise to train local doctors and treat thousands of children each year.
