Envisioning Tomorrow: Prospects on the 2024 Horizon
Looking ahead to our next mission, scheduled for July 30th to August 9th, 2024, FAJR Scientific plans to expand this year’s goals and extend our elite Orthopedic services to Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. This will require the complex coordination of 22 operating rooms across 6 major orthopedic-capable hospitals simultaneously, to perform over 300+ complex orthopedic surgeries within 5 days- a feat that has never been attempted anywhere nor anytime. The estimated total cost for the 2024 mission is over US $8.0 million. To cover the expenses of this complex mission, we anticipate a cash requirement of approximately US$ 5.7 million and donated supplies worth close to US$ 1,500,000. This amount will include the cost of implants, tools, instrument sets, shipping, economy class airline tickets for 70 medical and support team members, hotel accommodation, meals, transportation, administrative fees, and other miscellaneous expenses, including, but not limited to, operations, media, logistics, IT support, clinical studies, and EMR development.
Thus, we are inviting you to donate to our Emergency Relief and rebuilding effort as well as our 2024 orthopedic mission. Your donation will go a long way to supporting this Mega Mission, and together we can share the impact of restoring integrity to those who have lost hope.
