A few snapshots from our community work and awareness activities.

Baytna Center (Hebron)

Specialized palliative day-care support for people living with chronic illnesses.

Opened in 2016 in Hebron, Baytna is Palestine’s first specialized palliative day-care center. We provide a safe and comfortable environment for people living with chronic illnesses, with a strong focus on privacy and psychosocial support. We encourage patients to express themselves, and our team offers information and guidance, specialized clinics, awareness lectures, educational and recreational workshops for children, economic empowerment programs for women—especially patients—and youth empowerment initiatives, alongside other activities.
