Resume

In underserved villages in Tulkarem,including: Qaffin, Iktaba, Flammeyeh, Shoofeh, Bala'a, and Thannaba, increased settler violence, internal displacement, and increased checkpoints and gates have made access to basic healthcare for thousands very difficult. PMRS's mobile clinic intervention directly bridges this gap. Over five months, a multidisciplinary team composed of a general practitioner, women's health doctor, two health workers, and a social worker, will deliver integrated primary healthcare, sexual and reproductive health, and psychosocial support to more than 2,400 unique beneficiaries. Priority is given to people with chronic diseases, women and girls, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and internally displaced persons. This intervention reduces the risk of preventable deterioration, improves health outcomes, and restores dignity and wellbeing in communities where urgency is not a word, it is a daily reality.
