Mobile clinics in the West Bank: Supporting healthcare access for marginalised communities in Area C
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 to marginalised communities.
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.
How can the UK promote Palestinian health and dignity? Critical questions for UK foreign and aid policymaking
If Palestinians are to enjoy their full and equal rights to health and dignity, the UK must ground its foreign and aid policies firmly in international law, and promote sustainable, locally-led development.
This following checklist offers a series of critical questions that policymakers, officials and other key decision-makers should ask to evaluate whether proposed UK policies and programmes are conducive to this goal. These questions also provide a basis for parliamentarians to scrutinise decision-making through parliamentary questions, debates, correspondence and other action.
