HEALTH

Healthcare is an essential foundation for a healthy workforce and a thriving society. In health, Palestine Emerging has developed a partnership strategy between public and private healthcare players to increase the quality and accessibility of care.

Incorporating inputs from the Ministry of Health, the World Health Organisation, and other local health players, Palestine Emerging, in collaboration with the Harvard Medical School, Rand and Palestinian experts, has set out a comprehensive healthcare transformation and partnership plan. 

As part of this, eight health catalysts have been identified with humanitarian, insurance, digitisation, training, and export workstreams.

A health delivery unit is being set up to implement the plans across coordinated stakeholders. Decentralised units, comprised of local members and international experts, are also being established to deliver individual catalytic projects. 

In May 2025, at the Istanbul “Step Up and Help Gaza/Palestine” Conference, Palestine Emerging and Anera announced a strategic partnership to deliver parts of the Palestine Emerging Healthcare Partnership and Transformation programme. Many other organisations also joined, with details of this new Palestine Healthcare Partnership to follow.

The Healthcare Transformation and Partnership plan can now be read in full.
