Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) works to bring together the latest data and information from the field to highlight the social and political impediments to Palestinian health and wellbeing.
Below you can read our most recent fact sheets, produced to help policymakers and the public better understand these issues and how they can be overcome.
Breast cancer is now one of the best understood and most treatable forms of cancer. In the UK, far more women now survive the disease than die from it, with 81 percent of women living beyond five years after being diagnosed.
For women in the occupied Palestinian territory, the situation is far bleaker. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Palestinian women, but as few as 40 percent of those diagnosed may live past five years.
In this fact sheet, MAP and Physicians for Human Rights - Israel highlight the challenges to continuous and effective medical care faced by Palestinian women with breast cancer living under occupation.
