Discriminatory policies imposed by the Israeli authorities mean that there are no permanent healthcare facilities for almost 300,000 Palestinians in Area C, the 60% of the occupied West Bank that remains under full Israeli military and civil control.
To ensure that Palestinians in Area C do have access to healthcare, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) partners with the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) to provide mobile clinics that offer medicines, check-ups, consultations, health awareness, and specialised services for women and people with disabilities.
The mobile clinics provided by MAP and PMRS are a vital lifeline to communities who otherwise would have no access to healthcare. Through voices from communities and insights from healthcare workers, this booklet highlights some of the many health challenges faced by Palestinians in Area C and the impact of PMRS in addressing this critical gap.
