Terminal Decline? Palestinian Refugee Health in Lebanon

November

NEW REPORT - The findings of this report reveal that Palestinian healthcare in Lebanon is underfunded and chronically unfit for the needs of the refugee population. Of particular concern are the overburdened and under-resourced United Nations clinics,an acute shortage of Palestinians training to become doctors and an inadequate tertiary healthcare system that places unbearable stress upon patients.The dignity associated with access to adequate healthcare is both a matter of life and death as well as one of international responsibility.

Birth In the Shadows : Protecting Mothers and Newborns in the Palestinian Refugee Camps

October

Pregnancy and childbirth are vulnerable times for mothers and newborns across the world. But in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon this vulnerability is magnified by poverty and neglect. The dark, overcrowded camps set a precarious backdrop for pregnant women and their newborn infants. With no government, and few rights in Lebanon, MAP's Maternal and Child Health works provides an opportunity for change and empowerment, and the protection of mothers and babies.

Medical Referrals from Gaza

July

Each year thousands of Palestinians residing in the Gaza Strip are referred by their physicians to hospitals outside of Gaza in order to access necessary, often life saving,medical services that are unavailable locally. The need for referrals outside of Gaza has been exacerbated by the lack of adequate development of the public health care systemfor the population of 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza.
