Continuity Without Access: Integrating Emergency, Primary Care, and Community Engagement in the West Bank

Movement restrictions, violence and funding shortfalls obstruct healthcare access in the West Bank, particularly in Area C, where communities have the fewest alternatives. This poster presents MAP’s model, which connects mobile clinics, Urgent Care Centres, Trauma Stabilisation Points and community partnership as one pathway, with decentralised services and prepositioned supplies. Between January and June 2026, mobile clinics recorded 10,971 patient encounters across 27 communities, and Urgent Care Centres saw 16,700 patients across four centres. 160 community members were trained in first aid. In 2025, 71% of patients were repeat visitors, and 86% said access improves. The model shows how localising and decentralising care can sustain access under systemic restriction.

Abstract

Movement restrictions, violence and funding shortfalls obstruct healthcare access in the West Bank, particularly in Area C, where communities have the fewest alternatives. This poster presents MAP’s model, which connects mobile clinics, Urgent Care Centres, Trauma Stabilisation Points and community partnership as one pathway, with decentralised services and prepositioned supplies. Between January and June 2026, mobile clinics recorded 10,971 patient encounters across 27 communities, and Urgent Care Centres saw 16,700 patients across four centres. 160 community members were trained in first aid. In 2025, 71% of patients were repeat visitors, and 86% said access improves. The model shows how localising and decentralising care can sustain access under systemic restriction.
