Assessments and Events<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• The MoH is facing continued problems to maintain access to quality services. Increased restriction of movements prevents both health personnel and supplies from reaching clinics and people from seeking care.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• Although shortages of pharmaceutical supplies have diminished thanks to the ECHO-funded pharmaceutical project managed by WHO and the MoH, the chronic emergency and the unpredictability of the transport of goods in the Gaza Strip requires the pre-positioning of large quantity of pharmaceutical supplies. However, there are so far hardly any donors’  inancial commitments for the pharmaceutical sector in 2008. Immediate funds are necessary to avert a catastrophic situation in the Palestinian public pharmaceutical.<\/p><\/div>\n

Actions<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• A logistic coordination meeting was held between partners to discuss the increasing difficulties to get goods out of the West Bank into the Gaza Strip.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• ECHO conducted a monitoring visit to review the achievements of the pharmaceutical project.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• WHO has facilitated the preparation of the health section for the CAP 2008. Access to quality health care was highlighted as key priority for the sector.<\/p><\/div>\n
