HEALTH
- UNRWA ensures access to health care for about 1.3 million
Palestinian refugees through its 125 primary health care centers in
West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, as well as its 63-bed
hospital in Qalqilia in the West Bank.
- All UNRWA health facilities provide quality medical care,
mother-and-child health care, family planning services and health
education to increase awareness of the importance of disease
prevention.
- For refugees in need of hospital care, especially emergency and
life-saving treatment, UNRWA partially reimburses costs through
agreements with specific hospitals.
- UNRWA strongly focuses on the prevention of diseases in the 58
refugee camps in the region in an environment-friendly way through the
provision of safe drinking water, hygiene and sanitation, sewage and
solid waste management, and control of insects and rodents.
- The UNRWA's health care system is one of the most cost-effective
in the region.
