Improve Access to Primary Healthcare in West Bank
The humanitarian and economic situation in the West Bank remains fragile, characterized by violence, and severe movement restrictions. With the movement restrictions and denial of access to primary healthcare now becoming endemic, it has become a lifesaving strategy in the West Bank to rehabilitate and expand the capacity of smaller, primary health care centres located within the village gates, so patients can receive services without having to travel out, or can be stabilized in an emergency situation for up to 72 hours until access may eventually be granted. Your recurring pledge can help ensure essential services are kept operational, medical supplies are replenished and more community healthcare workers are trained.
World Vision also seeks to mitigate the risks of child malnutrition caused by reduced income and limited access to services by expanding its Go Baby Go child nutrition caregiver training programme in the West Bank. Through practical training on infant and young child feeding, nutrition, hygiene, and responsive caregiving, we seek to empower more mothers and caregivers to protect their children's health despite the difficult circumstances.
