UNRWA Health Services Continue Uninterrupted Throughout 2018, Yet Risks Remain
UNRWA Health Services Continue Uninterrupted Throughout 2018, Yet Risks Remain
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) released today its annual Health Report for 2018, which confirms that, despite facing unprecedented financial challenges in 2018 that endangered the provision of the Agency’s services to 5.4 million registered Palestine refugees, the provision of primary health care and the facilitation of hospital services  across the five fields of operation in Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, continued uninterrupted.
UNRWA attributes this achievement to the remarkable commitment of health workers and the ongoing Health Reform Program, as well as the generous contributions from host and donor governments, and in particular, its close partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO). However, these achievements and the continued health and well-being of the Palestine refugee community remain imperiled due to the Agency’s continuing financial crisis.
