Welcome to the gaza cancer & Chronic Care Network
Keeping care continuous in crisis.
Telehealth and medicine access for Gaza’s cancer and chronic-disease patients.
Stories from the Frontlines of Gaza Care
The Gaza Cancer & Chronic Care Network (GC3N) exists so that people living with cancer and chronic illnesses in Gaza can receive continuous, specialist-guided care, even during siege, displacement, and system collapse. Through a locally anchored, globally connected model, GC3N brings together international specialist physicians, Gaza-based coordinators, and a pharmacist-led medication access program to reduce preventable suffering and death.
Here are real stories of healing, hope, and solidarity from the Gaza Cancer & Chronic Care Network (GC3N). These stories reflect the lives we’ve touched — and the lives we’re still trying to save.
“Thanks to GC3N, we were able to treat a young woman’s diabetes remotely in a displacement camp, and give a heart failure patient life-saving care from 7,000 miles away. It’s medicine without borders — built on compassion and dignity.”
From Camp to Consult: Saving Amal’s Heart
When Amal, a 62-year-old heart failure patient, was displaced to a tent camp, she had no access to care. GC3N connected her with a remote cardiologist who adjusted her meds and guided local staff — stabilizing her at home.
Global Doctors, Local Impact
More than 40 physicians from 6 countries volunteer monthly with GC3N. With just 2–4 hours each, they’ve helped over 300 patients get expert care each month — from diabetes control to cancer pain relief.
A Lifeline for Gaza’s Chronically Ill Children
GC3N is helping children with asthma, epilepsy, and Type 1 diabetes get diagnosis, treatment, and long-term follow-up — even from crowded shelters. Every child deserves dignity in care.
Telehealth Clinics
+ Medication Access Fund
Gaza’s health system has been devastated by infrastructure damage, supply shortages, workforce displacement, and the overwhelming burden of trauma care. Within that emergency, chronic disease and cancer have become a silent catastrophe: people who once had stable treatment plans now face lapses that quickly become life-threatening – insulin interruptions, halted chemotherapy, uncontrolled heart failure, or untreated infections in immunocompromised patients. GC3N was designed precisely to close this gap by pairing specialist expertise with on-the-ground coordination and a dedicated medication access mechanism.
During the pilot year, GC3N will:
Voices of Gratitude
“I didn’t think anyone would care after the hospital closed. Then GC3N called. A kind doctor from abroad spoke to me and adjusted my medications. I’m breathing better now, and I didn’t have to leave the shelter.”

Displaced patient with heart failure, Deir al-Balah
“Volunteering with GC3N has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my medical career. Even from 6,000 miles away, I feel I’m making a difference ..one patient, one case at a time.”
