The Online Course on Healthcare in Palestine will provide participants with valuable information about the healthcare system in Palestine. According to the World Bank, fewer than half of Palestinians have their healthcare requirements met. By taking part in this course, participants will not only learn about some of the the reasons behind this deficiency, but will also be in a position to raise awareness of the issue as a result of the knowledge that they have gained. It will also give people an insight into how the local Palestinian hospital system works, and on the roles of Palestinians in these hospitals.

Additionally, the role of the health sector in Palestine is addressed, as well as the challenges it faces under occupation. Among the main obstacles to a fully functioning health system is of course the occupation itself, allied to a lack of equipment and medical personnel, issues which are addressed on this course.

General practitioners, specialists, doctors of public health, nutritionists, nurses and paramedics would also find the experience gained on this course to be invaluable.
