Support AFGMC's COVID-19 Emergency Campaign

The Galilee Medical Center (GMC) is currently treating patients with confirmed cases of COVID-19 and has opened two dedicated wards.  One is up and running with 24 beds, including six for patients requiring artificial respiration. The other dedicated ward, which can support care for 30 patients is open and serves patients with more critical needs.

Despite its quick response, GMC has substantial and immediate need for more equipment to deal with the pandemic. The most urgent of these is for ventilators and additional personal protective equipment for medical staff working with COVID-19 patients.

The American Friends of GMC are working to help to meet these needs and we need your help! 

Please consider a gift today to contribute to keeping the staff safe as they work to save the lives of people with COVID-19.  Thank you!
