Governance of Health
18
UNRWA and Palestine
• (As Rita said)– Health (problem) is political, thus
political solution is needed for health solution• (As Assad explained & Mahmoud will explain)
– Palestine has no shortage of examples– Occupation in West Bank, Seize in Gaza, etc. etc.
• (As I will say now)– UNRWA will do the best to improve services, and
work for solutions through Global Governance for Health
19
Conclusions
• UNRWA will continue to support refugees– Focus on NCD, Family health & efficiency
• UNRWA is part of Palestine health services– Part of Payoff, Convergence, NCD & UHC
• Analysis & Guidance is needed – Rational use of (limited) resources in Palestine
• And, will work with Palestine through GGH– Political solutions for Palestine (health)
