Desmond Tutu

MAP suppoter Desmond Tutu speaks with us about MAP's 25th Year Anniversary

3 August 2010
During the war on Gaza, there was no plan in place for women in Gaza to give birth safely. Many babies were born at home or en-route to hospital without a midwife and without the necessary sterile equipment. MAP is working alongside the UN to ensure that a plan is in place for the future, and that more community midwives, doctors and nurses are trained in the necessary skills to protect and treat mothers and newborns at risk. In cooperation with UNICEF and the UN Population Fund, paediatric equipment is being delivered to support safe delivery in four hospitals across Gaza.

Life or Death – Medical Referrals from Gaza

11 March 2010
The strict closure of the Gaza Strip has impoverished and restricted medical services in Gaza. This increases the need to refer patients for treatment outside Gaza. The process of obtaining a referral document is not easy, and when a patient manages to obtain it, he or she then has to wait for a hospital appointment to come through, before applying to the Israeli Authorities for permission to leave Gaza. MAP FILMS looks at the reality of life for Palestinians in Gaza trying to access health services outside the territory.
