Uniting Knowledge, Resources and Solidarity: Gaza Health Initiative Conference
September 13, 2024
$100
📣 KIT Institute is partnering with the Gaza Health Initiative (GHI) to host the ‘Uniting Knowledge Resources and Solidarity: Gaza Health Initiative Conference’ on 13 September 2024, in Amsterdam
The unprecedented destruction of the Gaza Strip since 7 October has left no fully functioning hospitals in the region. An estimated 700 healthcare and aid workers have lost their lives. Medical facilities lack personnel, beds, medicine, equipment, and electricity.
🏥 There is an urgent need to rebuild basic health services to prevent further loss of life.
GHI, our co-host, is a coalition of medical professionals, non-profit organisations, humanitarian actors, academics, and concerned individuals. They hosted the first conference in Amman in February and the second in Beirut in June.

The one-day conference at KIT will be the third in the series, and we aim to build on the achievements of the previous conferences.
💬 “Access to healthcare is a basic human right. KIT is committed to using its convening capability to bring key decision-makers together to identify priorities and support indigenous solutions to ensure the immediate and long-term healthcare needs of the people in Gaza are met,” explains Mayada El-Zoghbi, KIT Institute’s Managing Director.
