The UAE Floating Hospital, stationed in the Egyptian city of Al Arish, has successfully provided prosthetic limbs to 21 additional injured Palestinians. This latest intervention brings the total number of beneficiaries under the ongoing Step of Hope programme to 72, marking a significant milestone in the facility’s humanitarian mission.
As part of this phase, patients underwent comprehensive medical and technical evaluations, including the collection of precise measurements. These data points are being used to manufacture and customize prosthetic devices tailored to each individual’s specific requirements. Beyond the hardware, the program ensures that recipients receive essential physiotherapy and specialized mobility rehabilitation to improve their quality of life.
The Step of Hope initiative operates as an integrated care system. It covers every stage of the recovery process, from initial medical assessments and the fabrication of custom limbs to ongoing follow-up care. These combined services are designed to restore mobility and enable participants to perform daily activities with greater independence and comfort.
The medical and rehabilitation staff at the UAE Floating Hospital continue to monitor the progress of all beneficiaries throughout every stage of their treatment. This dedication underscores the UAE’s broader commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare and rehabilitation support to the Palestinian people. The program remains a core component of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, which aims to mitigate the ongoing humanitarian crisis and address the critical medical needs of those affected by the conflict.
