Through its partnership with the Ramallah Federation in the United States, Bank of Palestine sponsored the visit of a medical delegation to Palestine to assist Palestinian medical teams at Palestinian hospitals and perform surgeries in various medical specializations.

Several events and activities were organized, including participation in medical conferences in the presence of Palestinian doctors so that the latter are able to benefit from the experiences of the delegation, exchange information and expertise, activate relations and build bridges of communication with the diaspora community. The delegation also conducted field visits to many medical centers located across the West Bank, and provided educational tools that allow Palestinian doctors to be up to date with the latest development in the field of modern medicine.
