OUR VISION
At FAJR Scientific, we envision a world where top-notch surgical expertise is a right, not a privilege. We bridge the gap between medical advancements and those in need, ensuring no one feels helpless due to a lack of surgical care.
OUR MISSION
At FAJR Scientific, our mission is clear: to provide top-tier surgical expertise to vulnerable populations, transforming lives regardless of circumstances. We believe in the healing power of science, compassion, and the human spirit.
Our Ongoing Initiatives
FAJR Scientific has significantly impacted Gaza with two medical missions, restoring many lives and limbs. Our team has treated over 2500 patients in Rafah and Khan Younis, including complex orthopaedic and vascular injuries. Since the evacuation of FAJR’s medical team from the European Gaza Hospital, our team on-the-ground continues to provide life-saving medical care to the Palestinian people.
We are dedicated to ongoing medical missions in Gaza and plan to establish a 120-bed mobile hospital in central Gaza, aiming for 5,000 procedures and 100,000 patient visits annually by the end of October. Our annual missions to Gaza and the West Bank are scheduled from July 30 to August 10.
We remain committed to delivering top-tier medical care and will provide updates on our upcoming missions and the mobile hospital’s progress.
