Transforming Lives Through Vital Support: UMR and Careem for Business Unite to Make a Difference

[Amman, Jordan] — A powerful partnership between UMR and Careem for Business has been forged, igniting a wave of positive change that is set to transform lives. With a shared commitment to making the world a better place, this collaboration is putting a spotlight on a cause that deeply resonates – improving the lives of kidney dialysis patients who depend on daily treatments. Together, these two entities are leveraging their resources and expertise to create a seamless transportation solution that is revolutionizing access to critical care.

The impact of this partnership is especially significant for kidney dialysis patients who rely on treatments at the Prince Hamza Hospital. Through this innovative alliance, the gap between home and medical facility is being bridged, leading to unprecedented ease in accessing vital care. With a united vision of a more compassionate and healthier world, UMR and Careem for Business are breaking down barriers and opening doors to new possibilities.

Each ride facilitated by this partnership is more than just a means of transportation – it symbolizes a lifeline infused with hope, resilience, and unwavering support. These patients, often the most vulnerable members of our community, are finding their journeys to medical care transformed into moments of positivity and promise.

Through this innovative partnership, UMR and Careem for Business are exemplifying the potential for private entities to drive positive social change. By aligning their missions, they are not only transforming the experiences of kidney dialysis patients but also setting an inspiring precedent for the broader corporate world.

United Mission for Relief and Development (UMR) partners with MedGlobal for Palestine relief. It is a humanitarian organization that serves vulnerable people worldwide. MedGlobal provides free healthcare to refugees, displaced persons, and marginalized communities.

The Turmoil in Palestine:

(According to WFP) 32.7 percent of the population lacked access to a healthy diet. Women are more likely than males to experience food insecurity. 33.7 percent of women heading families reported food scarcity. The situation is more accurate in the Gaza strip, with 64 percent food insecurity.  

Palestinians are extremely food insecure. They experience a large consumption gap and lack the resources. These gaps come from the lack of their fundamental requirements. such as food, housing, and clothes. Due to the continuous and protracted crisis, they have already used up most of their coping methods. Which leaves them unable to close the enormous consumption gap.

Years and years of  violence have left people of Palestine in a devastating situation. Palestine continues to face significant obstacles –

• A protracted conflict
• Economic stagnation
• Trade restrictions, and
• Limited access to resources.

These obstacles bar them from achieving sustainable developments. Among these developments are ending hunger, ensuring food security, and improving nutrition.

Focus of Partnership:

The partnership focuses on facility-based healthcare services in Gaza. UMR and MedGlobal coordinate with the Ministry of Health to deploy healthcare professionals. This partnership aligns with UMR’s mission to address the dire healthcare needs in Gaza.

Approximately 1.5 million people in Gaza lack consistent access to healthcare. As a result, health benchmarks are deteriorating. 80% of Gazans are below the poverty line. Our objectives are to improve the health of the Palestinian people in Gaza and their quality of life. The nature of Palestine relief in Gaza comes in three categories:

1) Lack of protection and displacement;

2) Limited access to essential services; and

3) Erosion of resilience and preparedness.

Sufferings of people in Palestine:

As it stands, 55.7% of elderly patients in Gaza suffer from three or more diseases. Additionally, one-third of older individuals need access to healthcare services. The UMR and MedGlobal partnership expands healthcare and medical service outreach.
