1) Emergency Medical and Humanitarian Aid
2) Significant Gaps in Service Provision
MAP supports a number of income generating projects, focusing in particular on improving the earning potential of women with families.
With a number of local partner organisations, MAP is working to combat the poor standards of nutrition and nutrition awareness among vulnerable communities in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and elsewhere.
MAP aims to improve regular access to primary health care services, including ante-natal and post-natal care, in the most needy areas through improving the skills of local community health workers and other medical staff working in these areas.
Mobile clinics meet a very real need for many Palestinians whose access to basic health and medical services is compromised by checkpoints and frequent closures.
In partnership with local organisations, MAP is working in the unregistered camps to address environmental concerns such as the protection of water sources, the delivery of clean water, waste management and sanitation systems
3) Community-Based Health Development
MAP aims to achieve increased social inclusion for disabled people and to mainstream assistance to the disabled. Working closely with local communities, MAP is working to increase the quality, number and effectiveness of medical and health professionals trained to provide appropriate, inclusive care for the disabled and to support the provision of the necessary facilities and technical aids.
MAP is engaged in a number of projects to raise public health awareness among vulnerable Palestinian communities.
Many children and young people in the West Bank and Gaza suffer psychological and behavioural problems as a result of the Israeli occupation. MAP aims, therefore, to increase the skills of and support for professionally trained primary level health workers that counsel or provide therapeutic activities for children, adolescents and their families.
