Join JVP Health Advisory Council’s next webinar featuring Mejd Azzeh @1for3palestine and Henry Louis @health4palestine.
Bridging Healthcare Gaps for Palestinian Refugees
In response to the severe healthcare gaps in the West Bank, 1for3 is focusing on healthcare challenges and community-driven solutions for Palestinian refugees in the West Bank. 1for3 has been working closely with local and international medical doctors to train community health workers from refugee camps. These health workers, trained by experienced MDs, are essential in delivering much-needed care to underserved communities, where military violence, apartheid laws, and economic hardships severely restrict access to medical services.
For nearly 15 years, 1for3 has partnered with the Lajee Center in Aida Refugee Camp to provide critical services in water, food, health, and education. This partnership has expanded to 5 Refugee Camps across the West Bank to address healthcare needs by equipping local health workers with the tools to provide specialized care and improve the overall well-being of families. Participants will learn more about the daily struggles of Palestinian refugees and how local health workers are advancing community health despite the political and economic challenges in the region.
