Medical Missions’ Companion   

Location: Nablus  

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 works with national and international partners including the Ministry of Health (MoH) to conduct 2 multidisciplinary medical missions in Nablus. One mission will focus on non-communicable disease (NCD) and the other mission will focus on improving breast cancer care. The NCD mission's objective is to enhance healthcare workers' capacities to effectively address the prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of NCDs. By building the capacities of healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge, the mission aims to strengthen NCD care delivery and ultimately reduce the burden of these diseases within the community. The breast cancer mission aims to improve the quality of care provided to patients from diagnosis to treatment and subsequent follow-up and to build the capacity of the breast unit staff in Rafedia Hospital through on-the-job training and coaching.
