Gaza Hospitals Face Critical Scan Equipment Shortage Amidst Conflict

Photo · english.pardafas.com

Gaza hospitals are experiencing a critical shortage of medical scan equipment, with approximately 76 percent of devices out of operation due to the ongoing conflict. Health workers are struggling to provide treatment under difficult circumstances with limited resources, as most equipment is old, dilapidated, and lacks necessary spare parts. The magnetic resonance scan service has completely shut down, and a significant portion of other vital scanning equipment is also inoperable.

  • The director of the Medical Scan Department under the Gaza Health Authority stated that the lack of spare parts and maintenance obstructions are further complicating service delivery.
  • A large part of the equipment that existed before the conflict has been damaged or rendered inoperative, hindering timely examination and treatment of patients, especially in emergency situations.
  • The situation directly impacts daily hospital functioning, particularly the decision-making process for emergency treatment and surgery.
  • The international community has been requested to provide humanitarian aid, technical support, and materials for equipment maintenance to ensure the continuity of health services.
