Jaba’a branch

 PRCS sub branch in Jaba’a was created in 2004 by a group of people from the town in order to fulfill the health and social needs of the more than 50 thousand people living in Jaba’a and in nearby villages where these services were urgently needed as the nearest Palestinian city is far away and also due to the many Israeli incursions which lead to numerous injuries.
