Medical Consultant for Mobile Clinic

1. Background: 

Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) is a UK-registered charity that has been reaching out to the Palestinian communities, striving to deliver health and medical care to those worst affected by conflict, occupation, and displacement. MAP provides immediate medical aid to those in need at times of crisis, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system.  MAP’s vision is of a future in which all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable, and locally led system of healthcare and the full realization of their rights to health and dignity. 

MAP is launching a mobile clinic project to provide primary health care services for Area C communities.  The target communities suffer from increased demolitions of infrastructure and lack of Israeli-required building permits, which affect the housing conditions, access to water and access to roads, all contributing to the deterioration of their health status.

• Lab tests
• Medications distribution
• Patient’s referral to other health service providers
• Home visits
• Antenatal cate and family planning
• Health awareness and education
• MHPSS

The mobile clinic team will consist of: General Practitioner, Women’s health doctor, village health workers, lab technician, MHPSS specialists and a driver.

This includes recruitment of qualified staff, procurement of supplies, procurement and furnishing of the vehicle, and setting up patient record system.
