Wound Care Project (April 2024 - October 2025)

UOSSM Canada in partnership with Islamic Relief Canada, and UOSSM USA, stives to contribute to the reduction of health-related morbidities and mortalities of the war-affected population in the Gaza Strip by enhancing the accessibility to quality healthcare services for those most vulnerable and in need.

UOSSM Canada also provided capacity building to enhance the skills of local medical professionals by training doctors and nurses in Gaza to effectively utilize VAC devices, ensuring the delivery of quality healthcare to patients in need.

Through this project, UOSSM Canada has procured essential medical consumables worth around $700,000 CAD to alleviate the suffering of over 10,000 patients in Gaza.
