Health in Palestine has developed manifolds in the past few years as the Ministry of Health has pulled up its socks for the total health care systems of the country.
Initiatives have been taken to improve the public health laboratory,drinking water,vector control and food control activity of the country. Water samples from different regions have been collected for conducting chemical and microbiological tests. The same has been done with food samples collected from different food joints. Both these measures are an important part of health services in Palestine and the result has been very positive. The rate of food poisoning has decreased remarkably in the recent years.
Equal emphasis has also been given to the mental health conditions of the Palestinian people. Curative,preventive and community based rehabilitation programs have been set up by the Community Mental Health department of the country. The Ministry of Health has taken initiatives along with the help of WHO to induce better health service policies in Palestine.
Child Health in Palestine is also an important issue and steps have been taken to make the parents aware of the need of vaccination to children. Many dangerous diseases affecting the children in the past cases have been totally eradicated from the country.
The development of Palestinian Health is one of the main aims of government.
