Story
MAP's vision is a future where all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable and locally-led system of healthcare, and the full realisation of their rights to health and dignity.
Through our programmes in the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Lebanon, we work with trusted and experienced local partners to achieve this vision. Our programmes, designed and delivered by Palestinians, provide access to essential health services and build local knowledge and skills to address Palestinian health problems. In times of humanitarian emergency, we are ready to respond rapidly with aid and assistance.
In emergencies, MAP responds rapidly with partners to get urgent medical supplies to hospitals so that injured and sick Palestinians can receive the treatment they need. We also support trauma, limb reconstruction, burns, neurosurgery and blood bank services.
MAP also works to ensure the long-term development of the capacity of Palestinian healthcare workers and the health system to deal with emergencies, and empowers communities to develop strong systems and protocols to respond to crises. We ensure that hospitals are appropriately stocked and equipped, and ready to respond to emergencies.
