PAMA in the West Bank & East Jerusalem
Strengthening Systems and Expanding Access
The West Bank faces a progressive deterioration in access to healthcare services. Intensified military operations, movement restrictions, settler violence, and fiscal constraints placed increasing pressure on healthcare delivery.
Hospitals and primary care facilities operated under significant strain, including:
- Frequent stockouts affecting essential medications
- Delays in ambulance services and patient referrals due to movement restrictions
- Growing unmet needs in surgical, critical care, and oncology services
- Increased pressure on maternal health, rehabilitation, and specialized care services
