East Jerusalem Hospital Network Coordinator

Background

The EJH network comprises six non-profit charity institutions (Augusta Victoria Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, St. John Eye Hospital, Palestinian Red Crescent Maternity Hospital, Princess Amira Basma Rehabilitation Center and Makassed Hospital). These hospitals are long-established institutions for Palestinians, an essential part of the Palestinian health care system and main service providers of tertiary care for Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. They also provide services to East Jerusalemites who are covered by the Israeli Insurance scheme through contractual agreements with the Israeli sick funds.

The East Jerusalem Hospitals Network (EJHN) was established in 1997 to promote collaboration and complementarity among EJ hospitals.

Current EU funding implemented by the WHO in collaboration with the EJHN supports the EJHs to improve their service delivery capacity as well as the quality of their services through raising quality standards and initializing the process for international accreditation and by strengthening the EJH Network to improve collaboration and coordination between hospitals. The need for further strengthening of the network and to institutionalize its function has been expressed by all parties. It was decided to establish a permanent coordination office staffed with an external network coordinator.
