About Us
Salametcom - Be Healthy - founded in April 2012
The association was established in Jerusalem for one purpose – to help Palestinian patients, residents of the West Bank and Gaza, who come to Israeli hospitals. Salametcom relieves their pain and supports them throughout the long journey of receiving medical treatment. In doing so Slamcom also gives them hope.
Today, in 2021, the association has been operating, voluntarily, non-stop for the past nine years. From a handful of volunteers, the association has become a network that includes hundreds of volunteers who help and invest their time.
True, the road is full of bumps and hardships, but the real reward remains the great smiles of the patients and their families, and the gratitude we would not have had if we had not continued on the journey.
Every year, thousands of Palestinians who need medical treatment come to Israeli hospitals
Most of them come due to a serious illness and in poor financial condition, and need ongoing psychological support. Some of them know that they will have to stay in hospitals for months, with the smell of the drugs and the beeping of the devices in the background, far from their families and friends and waiting for good news that will mark the end of hospitalization and their return home.
How the association operates
What help does Salametcom provide to these patients?
- Drives them from hospitals to checkpoints and back, thus saving patients this extra worry involved in transportation and paying for them
- Accompanies the patients and assists them with translation in the hospitals, when a conversation skill in Hebrew is required
- Helps pay some of the costs, for example for surgeries and the cost of hospital stays
- Assists in the purchase of expensive medical devices and medicines
- Conducts social activities within hospitals to improve patients' mood
- Organizes trips for patients and their caregivers outside of hospitals to ease and improve mood
- Celebrates with the holidays holidays and religious events
- Surprises some of the sick children on their birthdays and makes them happy (sometimes even fulfills dreams for them)
- You distributed hot home meals on a daily basis to attendants who are not eligible for a meal from the hospital
