ABSTRACT

This study aims to contribute to policy formulation and planning for universal health coverage (UHC) in the occupied Palestinian territory. Its primary purpose is to assess the involvement of the private sector in health care (both for-profit and not-for-profit) and its engagement in current efforts to attain UHC. This is done through a systematic examination of the health status of the Palestinian population and the development of the health system over the past two decades. This has been done by compiling all relevant data and information, as well as the views and perspectives of key stakeholders.
