Description

Palestinian American Medical Association

The Palestinian American Medical Association (PAMA) is a U.S.-based non-profit organization, registered as a 501(c)(3) charity with the EIN 47-2227058. Founded on November 10, 2013, PAMA was established by a group of Palestinian healthcare professionals practicing in the United States. The organization aims to improve healthcare services in Palestine, focusing on providing immediate medical relief, promoting healthcare education, and supporting training programs in the region.

Mission and Vision

PAMA's mission is to provide immediate medical relief to Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank. Additionally, it works to establish and support programs that enhance education and training in healthcare. The organization envisions a future where all Palestinians have access to comprehensive and sustainable healthcare services.

Activities

PAMA engages in various activities to achieve its objectives:

  • Medical Relief: PAMA has extended support during crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. It provided personal protective equipment (PPE) to healthcare workers and procured essential medical supplies for hospitals in Gaza and the West Bank.
  • Education and Training: The organization supports scholarships for medical students and training programs for physicians, focusing on underserved specialties.
  • Infrastructure Development: PAMA has been instrumental in establishing specialized medical units, such as interventional radiology and endoscopy units, in Gaza and other areas.
  • Community Engagement: Through webinars and workshops, PAMA facilitates knowledge sharing between healthcare professionals in the U.S. and Palestine, promoting best practices and modern healthcare techniques.

Impact

PAMA's initiatives have significantly improved healthcare services and education in Palestine. They have funded critical medical equipment, such as hemodialysis machines, and supported surgeries, including cochlear implants and corneal transplants. These efforts have enhanced the quality of life for many Palestinians and have helped address some of the systemic healthcare challenges in the region.

Partnerships and Collaborations

PAMA works with local and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to amplify its impact. Through strategic alliances, PAMA ensures that its efforts are coordinated and effective in responding to the healthcare needs in Palestine.

Governance and Membership
