During the Covid-19 epidemic, the increased number of people seeking medical attention worsened hospital shortages. This shortage required reallocating the workforce, personal protective equipment (PPE), medical equipment, medical disposables, and hospital wards. This reallocation delayed a number of elective surgeries. This study explored the financial, physical, and psychological implications of deferring elective surgeries on Palestinians in three West Bank hospitals during the pandemic.This cross-sectional study included 398 patients from tertiary hospitals in Palestine whose elective surgical procedures were deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Between 8/8/2021 and 6/9/2021, data were collected on patients who had elective surgery deferral at three government hospitals in the West Bank of the Palestinian territories. There were five parts to the study tool; personal information, access to the health system, physical affection, financial effect, and psychological effect. Statistical analysis included a univariate, bivariate and multivariate.The healthcare system's response to the COVID-19 epidemic directly affected patients whose surgeries were deferred. The healthcare system's response was the cause of the delay in 91.5% of the cases. Orthopedic and neurological surgeries account for 48.3% of deferred surgery. Other than delayed surgeries, 30.2% of patients were unable to get additional health care services. Physically, 55.5% of patients were impacted, 45% were anxious, and 29.6% were depressed.Patients who had procedures deferred as a result of the healthcare system's response to the COVID-19 epidemic were impacted physically, financially, and psychologically. There should bea better crisis management strategyto ensure that certain hospitals are able to operate regularly despite the situation.

The issue of public hospitals buildings’ maintenance in Palestine is regarded as a challenging issue. The lack of attention to maintenance management in hospitals has led to deterioration of buildings and reduced the health care services. The aim of this paper is to assess the current practice of maintenance process and management in public hospitals buildings in the Gaza Strip. A questionnaire survey that distributed to 13 public hospitals, which are administered by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in the Gaza Strip, was used to collect the primary data for this study. The results of this study present an overview of the current situation of the maintenance process in public hospitals buildings in the Gaza Strip. The findings indicated that while the corrective maintenance is implemented in all the 13 public hospitals, preventive maintenance is employed along with corrective maintenance, only in three hospitals. In addition, the findings indicated variances in responding to maintenance requests, while 50% of the maintenance departments took few hours to respond to maintenance requests, the rest took a few days to respond, this can be explained due to lack of spare parts and qualified staff. The study showed also that there is a shortage in training the hospital facility’s users on how to report maintenance problems. The results of this study indicated that most hospitals in the Gaza Strip have no maintenance plan for medical equipment; they do not have quality control system for repair and preventive maintenance. It is recommended to employ experience maintenance staff in order to prepare adequate maintenance plan and detailed check list, which is required for preventive maintenance. The MoH should organize specialized training courses in maintenance management for their staff in order to improve their effectiveness and efficiency. Hospitals in Gaza should make sure that all spare parts available in their storages for immediate action when required.

Abstract Background Policy development, one of the core functions of public health, is often achieved through professional associations leveraging disciplinary expertise and values via their official policy statements. The 140-year-old American Public Health Association (APHA) has adopted hundreds of policy statements, including several focused on the health implications of war and armed conflict, both in general, and in Iran, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Vietnam. Yet, despite four attempts, the APHA has failed to pass a resolution addressing the health consequences of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Here, we document the need for solidarity between health professionals in the USA and occupied Palestinian territory, and identify mechanisms predicting success of professional advocacy based on a commitment to international health justice. Methods We conducted a case study, drawing on extensive literature review, historical analysis, examination of APHA procedures and documents, and interviews with organisations that have been successful in professional advocacy in addressing US policy as it relates to occupied Palestinian territory. Findings Findings point to four factors within US academic institutions that underlie the advancement of policies relating to occupied Palestinian territory: (1) the moment in history and the political environment; (2) the organisation's history of taking controversial policy stands; (3) the rhetorical strategies deployed; (4) the organisation's structure and process of decision making. We applied these factors to our case study. Interpretation Findings reveal profound differences in understanding among US public health professionals regarding the effects of the occupation of Palestinian territory on public health in the region. Results suggest that fear of controversy interferes with what should otherwise be an obvious response for US public health professionals. For public health resolutions that are deemed politically controversial, advocates need to adjust the language to respond to the historical moment, and history and culture of the organisation, to effectively counter deflective rhetorical strategies, and to acknowledge the formal and informal power of stakeholders within governing structures. Funding None.

Abstract Introduction Strengthening health systems in conflict-affected settings has become increasingly professionalised. However, evaluation remains challenging and often insufficiently documented in the literature. Many, particularly small-scale health system evaluations, are conducted by government bodies or non-governmental organisations (NGO) with limited capacity to publish their experiences. It is essential to identify the existing literature and main findings as a baseline for future efforts to evaluate the capacity and resilience of conflict-affected health systems. We thus aimed to synthesise the scope of methodological approaches and methods used in the peer-reviewed literature on health system evaluation in conflict-affected settings. Methods We conducted a scoping review using Arksey and O’Malley’s method and synthesised findings using the WHO health system ‘building blocks’ framework. Results We included 58 eligible sources of 2,355 screened, which included examination of health systems or components in 26 conflict-affected countries, primarily South Sudan and Afghanistan (7 sources each), Democratic Republic of the Congo (6), and Palestine (5). Most sources (86%) were led by foreign academic institutes and international donors and focused on health services delivery (78%), with qualitative designs predominating (53%). Theoretical or conceptual grounding was extremely limited and study designs were not generally complex, as many sources (43%) were NGO project evaluations for international donors and relied on simple and lower-cost methods. Sources were also limited in terms of geography (e.g., limited coverage of the Americas region), by component (e.g., preferences for specific components such as service delivery), gendered (e.g., limited participation of women), and colonised (e.g., limited authorship and research leadership from affected countries). Conclusion The evaluation literature in conflict-affected settings remains limited in scope and content, favouring simplified study designs and methods, and including those components and projects implemented or funded internationally. Many identified challenges and limitations (e.g., limited innovation/contextualisation, poor engagement with local actors, gender and language biases) could be mitigated with more rigorous and systematic evaluation approaches.

BackgroundTraining for health students is essential to equip them with health informatics competencies and skills. This study used a tailored version of the technology acceptance model (TAM) to assess Jordanian and Palestinian students' attitudes and thoughts regarding learning of health informatics, to determine their intention to learn, to assess the required skills for health informatics, and to determine reasons that could motivate students to study health informatics.MethodsA descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among senior undergraduate students in health-related disciplines in four universities in Jordan and Palestine. A stratified random sample of 1000 students was emailed the link to the web-based questionnaire and requested to complete the questionnaire on a voluntary basis. According to the recommendation by Comrey and Lee (1992), the sample size should be more than 500 to be able to perform factor analysis. The questionnaire included questions on the TAM construct. A five-point Likert-type scale was used to record responses to the questions.FindingsA total of 891 students responded to the study questionnaire; a response rate of 89%. The majority (83%; 737 of 891) of students were interested in learning health informatics. Approximately 63% (560 out of 891) of students reported that they would take a set of health informatics courses during their undergraduate degree if given such an opportunity. Approximately 70% (624 of 891) of students perceived health informatics learning as useful. Only a third of students (36%; 322 of 891) believed that their university provides a supportive environment for health informatics programmes. Approximately 75% (668 of 891) of students had the intention to enter the health informatics programme, and reported that they were enthusiastic about the use of health information technology in patient care in future medical practice.InterpretationUnderstanding students' perception and acceptance of health informatics learning is very important to predict the adoption and implementation of these applications during practice. Students perceived health informatics learning as useful and easy, had a positive attitude towards health informatics, and a strong intention to learn health informatics. The results of this study provide directions for the implementation of health informatics education.FundingThis study, part of the HiCure project, has been funded with support from the European Commission and the European Union's Erasmus+ programme.

It lacks an adequately staffed, sustainable, coordinated healthcare system to tend to its population's needs. Ongoing conflict, lack of electricity and running water, and poor sanitation compound the issue. High rates of poverty and the ongoing land, air, and sea blockades also exacerbate the situation. This commentary is a policy recommendation to create the Gaza Medical Reserve Corps, an organization of public health and preventive medicine (PHPM) specialists (reservists) who would be trained in emergency and crisis care to provide aid during turmoil, war, and epidemics/pandemics, such as the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. During peaceful times of noncrisis, reservists would provide primary care services that are currently unavailable in Gaza. They would target those who are most in need in underserved neighborhoods and refugee camps.The authors conceptualized the Reserve Corps and serve as its leadership. They are currently organizing a Gaza Public Health Advisory Network composed of key community stakeholders, such as medical and dental schools, affiliated hospitals, the Palestinian Ministry of Health, humanitarian aid organizations (such as the United Nations Relief and Advisory Network), invested private entities, and neighborhood elders. Building the Advisory Network will help the Reserve Corps best coordinate care as a partner to Gaza's core healthcare system and assure that reservists fill a gap in the healthcare sector.1The ultimate goal is to transition Gaza away from the need for short-term aid and assistance by creating a self-sustaining, financially sound, long-term health system that has the capacity to coordinate care effectively and efficiently. The Advisory Network is crucial for garnering community support and assisting with recruiting reservists. The network serves as a means of “public health system strengthening,” which is found to be critical for effective primary care service delivery in low- and middle-income countries.2PHPM physicians in the United States often work on population health while also practicing as clinicians for a portion of their time.3 Canadian PHPM residents gain training in health advocacy, research, communication, and collaboration. In the United Kingdom and Japan, however, nurses, community semigeneralists/semispecialists, and public health practitioners may become certified PHPM specialists in addition to licensed physicians.4,5 This is the model proposed for Gaza. As PHPM specialists, reservists would rotate their time among 4 distinct divisions. Reservists would work in their clinical practice (eg, dentistry, nutrition, nursing) during their Division 1 primary healthcare time, then rotate through Division 2 education and outreach, Division 3 research and development, and Division 4 public health policy and advocacy.Division 1: Primary HealthcareDivision 1 would provide primary healthcare services during peaceful periods of noncrisis. Currently, the United Nations Relief and Advisory Network's 22 healthcare facilities serve 96.9% of Gazans.6 The facilities provide primary care, dental, laboratory, and X-ray services. Gazans have a high use (greater than 3 times per 6 months) of primary healthcare services,7 and the average number of daily medical consultations per doctor is 113.6 Reservists would help alleviate the burden of these overworked clinicians. Reservists would also assist in prioritizing residents in refugee camps, since chronic diseases have been found to be about 40% higher among those living in the camps.8Using Telehealth ServicesFor cost-effectiveness and greater efficiency, the Reserve Corps would provide telehealth services. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advocates telehealth for non-US countries, particularly low-income countries.9 Much of the customized hardware and software and telecommunication technologies are open source, and thereby affordable to implement. The specific advantages of telehealth to Gaza during the COVID-19 pandemic include the ability to employ various professionals of different specialties in a short amount of time, treat patients when hospitals are unavailable, and reduce patient waiting time in medical offices.10 A Gazan telehealth system would include a regional electronic medical records system to streamline and automate the current paper system of discharge summary notes, progress notes, referrals, and prescriptions.11Current issues that prevent the use of telehealth services include inadequate education on telehealth for both physicians and patients, the unavailability of needed infrastructure, and lack of funding.12 In Syria, remote training sessions were provided over online platforms such as Skype, Zoom, GoToMeeting, and Google Meet.13 The Advisory Network can assist by helping to build the necessary infrastructure. Medical schools would also provide telehealth training to reservists.Facilitating At-Home Healthcare VisitsWealthier Gazans sometimes request physician home visits, which were especially convenient during COVID-19 lockdowns. Service pricing was dependent on the physician's specialty, availability, location (travel time), and the urgency of the requested home visit. This practice is not standardized in Gaza; private clinicians conduct business and set rates independently. Gazans find physicians who provide such services by word of mouth, so availability is not widely known. Providing various specialty home visits would be an added convenience for wealthier Gazans. To systematize and mass market this premium service is plausible.Division 2: Health Education and Community OutreachMedia—specifically social media—would be used to educate and reach the public. Successful COVID-19 educational campaigns in Syria used Facebook and WhatsApp for updates, daily communication, and team management.13 Social media and communication tools were also used to collect health information, communicate health messages, and answer queries from the general public. In Lebanon, health workers flooded traditional media (ie, print, television, radio) and social media outlets with relevant information during the COVID-19 pandemic.14For greater educational impact, in-person education is preferred and sometimes necessary. For example, Afghanistan and Ethiopia both employed health workers to inform citizens verbally about COVID-19 due to low literacy rates.15,16 However, due to Gaza's high literacy rates,17 reservists can create and publish visual graphics, news articles, and white papers in traditional media to educate Gazans.Mobilizing Volunteers to Support Health Education and Community OutreachPart of Syria's response to the pandemic included activating thousands of volunteers to nearly all the region's localities.13 Volunteers were organized in various technical teams and neighborhood committees. This framework of organization is practical for Gaza since citizens also identify by neighborhood residence. While such examples are specific to health messaging during the pandemic, reservists would continuously educate Gazans on the importance of a healthy lifestyle (which discourages smoking and encourages physical activity) due to high rates of preventable chronic disease in the enclave.8,18Division 3: Research and DevelopmentPublic and private research enables scientific discoveries, leads to the creation of new technologies, and generates innovation—primarily in the biological, biomedical, and health sciences—in countries to assure their economic success.19,20 In Gaza, research occurs in academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, humanitarian organizations, government agencies, and independently. Because Palestine's health system was found to be underperforming,21 adopting open science principles would be ideal.Maximizing the Impact of Health ResearchThe pandemic proved that research efforts are most beneficial when they use open science principles, such as ensuring data transparency, sharing procedures and protocols, encouraging collaborations, and assuring fast and efficient global distribution of critical results.22 COVID-19 research crosses various disciplines, including business, economy, tourism, mental health, and aging.23-25 It is anticipated that such research in all industries will continue past the decline of the pandemic. As open science practitioners, the authors would instruct reservists accordingly. Hence, the Reserve Corps would play a pivotal role in teaching and advocating open science principles to the Advisory Network member organizations and local researchers. Collaborative, honest, and open research would increase research performance and outputs for all of Gaza.Supporting Financing and Development EffortsIn addition to disseminating data through academic publications and other forms of scholarly works, funding development duties would be accomplished in Division 4. Although initial funds must be awarded by the government and international community to launch the Reserve Corps, Division 4 would ensure that the Reserve Corps is a self-sustaining and financially sound entity. First, telehealth and home visits in Division 1 would be billable services. Second, development duties will include writing grants, seeking donors, and developing diversified funding streams. The Reserve Corps qualifies for various grants, such as treatment programs for populations at risk (using data from Division 1), creative health education and community outreach campaigns (programming from Division 2), education and training for the Reserve Corps and Advisory Network members, the development of telehealth and electronic medical records services, and the execution of critical public health policy and advocacy efforts (work by Division 4).Division 4: Health Policy and AdvocacyReservists will be trained to create advocacy campaigns, write critical papers such as this one, lobby for policy change, and empower the public to advocate for data-driven services and health equity. The pandemic has proven the dire need for policymakers to prioritize the health sector in its budget allocations, and “the public health community should not miss this once-in-a-lifetime ‘policy window’ to raise the level of advocacy for appropriate investment in the health sector.”26 Healthcare systems must be financed and structured so that all those who require care may access it.27 COVID-19 has shown health inequity to be a major problem that must be addressed—not only to prepare for the next pandemic but also to ensure people are treated and cared for no matter where or who they are.Staffing the Reserve CorpsPalestine, and Gaza especially, has a high rate of people who are educated but unemployed. Salama28 found that in Palestine, which includes the West Bank, the rate of unemployment increased as the level of education increased, and Alkafri29 discovered the unemployment gap between men and women increased as the number of years of higher education increased. In 2017, the unemployment rate of Palestinian youths (aged 15 to 29 years) with an associate's diploma or higher was 55.8% (37.8% male, 72% female), and for those with a science degree the rate was 69.6%.13 During the fiscal year of 2019, Palestine's overall unemployment rate was 25.3% (21.3% male, 41.0% female; 43% Gaza, 14% West Bank).30The Reserve Corps will focus on recruiting recent health science graduates. Given the greater need in particular neighborhoods and refugee camps, a concentrated effort will be made to have Advisory Network members from those geographical areas recruit potential reservists. Hiring female health professionals will also be prioritized because they have a higher rate of unemployment and female Muslims prefer female health professionals.30-32 Hiring from one's own neighborhood or refugee camp ensures a more culturally aware, language-appropriate, and socially acceptable experience between providers and patients.33Organizing the Reserve CorpsDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippines passed a bill in November 2020 to establish a medical reserve corps through recruitment, training, and payment for services rendered by temporary medical reservists.34 Lessons can be drawn from their experience, as it is similar to the medical reserve corps that we propose. In addition, we can learn from the experience in sub-Saharan Africa, where community health workers were employed after the Ebola epidemic to deliver primary healthcare services such as preapproved treatments and medications, offer health education and advice, and coordinate referrals for low-income communities via smartphones.35 This approach has proven to be cost-effective, low-cost, and rapidly scalable. Services would continue in noncrisis times.Timing for Creating the Reserve CorpsInternational organizations and foreign aid can assist Gaza in its fight against COVID-19 and with its development “without having to contend with the (political) stigma of doing so.”36 In 2016, the World Health Organization stressed Palestinians' right to quality healthcare and called on the international community to support them in developing and reforming their healthcare system.37 Since the COVID-19 outbreak has weakened Palestine's already underfunded health and social service system,38 this is the ideal time to develop a sustainable long-term health sector. Although some called for the Middle East to unify against COVID-19, it never did so. However, the region's wealthier states can “provide logistical, technical, and financial assistance to their neighbors.” 39 For example, they can invest in the establishment of the Reserve Corps and/or its telehealth system. It is anticipated that Palestinian policymakers would support the creation of the Reserve Corps and participate in the Advisory Network.40Supporting the Creation of the Reserve CorpsAs the primary function of the Reserve Corps is to provide medical support, reservists would always mobilize in times of emergency. Emergency situations supersede their normal functions as PHPM specialists. Reservists would be at the frontlines and support the existing medical infrastructure. By creating the Reserve Corps during this pandemic, reservists would help contain the current pandemic, prevent future epidemics, and provide relief in crisis and conflict.The Reserve Corps would be a medical workforce of Gaza-trained Gazans committed to building a long-overdue healthcare delivery system for Gaza. The successful implementation of the Reserve Corps will have impacts beyond Gaza. It can be used as a transferable model for similar places that may similarly lack effective healthcare systems, such as the West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon, and throughout the Eastern Mediterranean region.ConclusionsThe authors have successfully recruited a team of 9 global researchers and 7 US-based graduate and undergraduate level researchers to assist in the development stages of the Reserve Corps. This commentary serves as the Reserve Corps' flagship piece, and the team is currently working on critical subsequent papers. They are emphasizing the need to revitalize the PHPM specialty because of the pandemic, compiling the best practices of various low- and middle-income countries to create each of the 4 divisions, and justifying the necessity of a formal community health network. Current medical students and recent health science graduates are being surveyed for feasibility.Currently, the authors are in discussions with student volunteers to develop a health education and awareness campaign and start a grassroots movement. They have also been actively applying for various grants to make the Reserve Corps a reality. It is hoped that this commentary will be a useful summary for key players and will encourage them to assist in the creation of the Gaza Medical Reserve Corps, ideally during the COVID-19 pandemic.AcknowledgmentsWe would like to express our gratitude to the anonymous reviewers for their careful review and insightful comments.

Smoking tobacco is a worldwide public health issue. Over the last few decades, smoking patterns have been changing, reflected by increasing rates among young people and females in particular.This study aimed to determine the prevalence and modalities of smoking and to assess the factors, habits and beliefs that might encourage or discourage smoking among young adults in Palestine.A cross-sectional study was conducted in the West Bank in 2014 among Palestinians aged 18-25 years old. Subjects were recruited from six Palestinian universities (n=1997). Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire focusing on sociodemographics, knowledge and beliefs towards tobacco smoking, and the reasons that motivate or hinder smokers to quit.The prevalence of tobacco smoking was found to be 47.7%. Males had higher smoking rates, consumption levels, and initiated smoking at younger ages (74.4% started at ≤18 years old). Smoking cigarettes and waterpipe were the most common forms among both sexes. Smokers were also found to consume higher amounts of caffeinated drinks and fast food, showed lower scores towards anti-smoking beliefs, and reported significantly higher prevalence of smoking-related symptoms and diseases, primarily shortness of breath (20.5%) and cough (16.6%). The majority of smokers reported attempting and willingness to quit smoking. Health and financial costs were the strongest factors encouraging quitting while mood changes and lack of self-control were the most reported discouraging factors. Moreover, smoking among family members and peers increased the odds of smoking.Increasing rates of smoking among young Palestinians and a growing popularity of waterpipe use should alert stakeholders to the necessity for the implementation of smoking prevention and awareness policies and programmes.معدل انتشار تعاطي التبغ بين الشباب في فلسطين.رانيا أبو سير، أكرم خروبي، إبراهيم غنام.التدخين وباء عالمي. وعلى مدى العقود القليلة الماضية، تغيرت أنماط التدخين بمعدلات متزايدة بين الشباب، وبين الإناث تحديداً.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد معدل انتشار التدخين وكيفياته، وتقييم العوامل والعادات والعقائد التي ربما تشجع الشباب على التدخين أو تثنيهم عنه.أجريت دراسة شاملة لعدة قطاعات في الضفة الغربية عام 2014 بين الفلسطينيين في عمر 18-25 عاماً. وأُتي بالمشاركين في الدراسة من ست جامعات فلسطينية (عددهم 1997). وطُلب من المشاركين الإجابة عن استبيان يُركِّز على الخصائص السكانية الاجتماعية، والمعرفة بالتدخين والمعتقدات الخاصة به، والأسباب التي تدفع المدخنين نحو الإقلاع أو تمنعهم منه.تبيَّ أن معدل انتشار التدخين 47.7٪. وكانت معدلات التدخين أكبر بين الذكور، وكذلك معدلات الاستهلاك، ويبدأ الذكور في التدخين بأعمار صغيرة (بدأ 74.4٪ منهم التدخين بعمر 18 عاماً أو أقل). وكان تدخين السجائر والنرجيلة أكثر أنواع التدخين شيوعاً بين كلا الجنسين. وأظهرت الدراسة أيضاً أن المدخنين يستهلكون كميات أكبر من المشروبات التي تحتوي على الكافيين ومن الأكلات السريعة، وأبدوا درجات أقل فيما يخص المعتقدات المناهضة للتدخين، وأبلغوا عن معدلات انتشار أكبر من الأعراض والأمراض المصاحبة للتدخين وخاصة ضيق النَّفَس (20.5٪) والسعال (16.6٪). وأعرب غالبية المدخنين عن محاولتهم الإقلاع عن التدخين ورغبتهم في ذلك. وكانت أكبر العوامل الدافعة للإقلاع عن التدخين هي الحفاظ على الصحة والتكاليف المادية، بينما كانت أكبر العوامل التي تثنيهم عن الإقلاع هي التغييرات في المزاج وانعدام ضبط النفس. وإضافة إلى ذلك، زاد تدخين أفراد الأسرة والأقران من احتمالات التدخين.ينبغي أن تكون المعدلات المتزايدة للتدخين بين الشباب الفلسطينيين وزيادة شعبية النرجيلة تنبيهاً للأطراف المعنية بشأن ضرورة تطبيق سياسات وبرامج مكافحة التدخين والتوعية بأضراره.Prévalence du tabagisme chez les jeunes adultes en Palestine.Le tabagisme est problème de santé publique mondial. Ces dernières décennies, les habitudes tabagiques ont évolué, comme le montre l’augmentation des taux de consommation chez les jeunes et chez les femmes en particulier.La présente étude avait pour objectif de déterminer la prévalence et les modalités de la consommation de tabac et d’évaluer les facteurs, les habitudes et les croyances susceptibles d’encourager cette pratique chez les jeunes adultes en Palestine ou de les en dissuader.En 2014, une étude transversale a été menée en Cisjordanie auprès de jeunes Palestiniens âgés entre 18 et 25 ans. Les sujets ont été recrutés dans six universités palestiniennes (n=1997). Il a été demandé aux participants de compléter un questionnaire portant sur les aspects sociodémographiques, les connaissances et les croyances vis-à-vis de la consommation de tabac ainsi que sur les raisons qui favorisent ou empêchent l’arrêt du tabac.La prévalence du tabagisme était de 47,7 %. Les hommes présentaient des taux et des niveaux de consommation supérieurs aux femmes et commençaient à fumer à un plus jeune âge (74,4 % avaient commencé à un âge inférieur ou égal à 18 ans). Les cigarettes et la pipe à eau constituaient les formes les plus répandues chez les deux sexes. Il a également été observé que les fumeurs consommaient davantage de boissons caféinées et de fast-food. Ils affichaient aussi des scores plus faibles s’agissant des croyances antitabac et faisaient état d’une prévalence significativement plus élevée de symptômes et de maladies liés au tabac, principalement les difficultés respiratoires (20,5 %) et la toux (16,6 %). La majorité des fumeurs ont déclaré avoir essayé d’arrêter de fumer et vouloir y parvenir. Les conséquences sur la santé et le coût financier constituaient les facteurs les plus importants en faveur de l’arrêt du tabac, tandis que les changements d’humeur et le manque de maîtrise de soi étaient les facteurs de démotivation les plus cités. Par ailleurs, le tabagisme parmi les membres de la famille et les collègues augmentait la probabilité de devenir fumeur.L’augmentation des taux de tabagisme chez les jeunes Palestiniens et la popularité croissante de l’usage de la pipe à eau devraient alerter les parties prenantes et les inciter à mettre en œuvre des politiques et des programmes de prévention et de sensibilisation à cet égard.

People who inject drugs (PWID) are a key population at risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV infections. Globally, 63% of PWID are HCV infected [1, 2] and 19% are HIV infected [2], leading to an estimated 10 million and 3 million HCV- and HIV-infected PWID, respectively [1–3]. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA), a region comprising 23 countries from Morocco in the West to Pakistan in the East, is at the centre of major drug production and trade, creating a context of vulnerability to injecting drug use [4]. PWID in MENA are a large, mostly young and stigmatized population experiencing a substantial HCV and HIV burden, with potential for even further HIV epidemic growth. Yet, they lack access to comprehensive and confidential HCV and HIV testing, prevention and treatment services [5]. MENA is home to an estimated 626,000 current PWID (range: 335,000–1,635,000) [6], with Iran, Pakistan and Egypt bearing the largest numbers [6]. The population proportion of PWID, at 0.24 per 100 adults, is comparable to global figures [2], but highest in the Eastern part of the region, such as in Iran at 0.43 per 100 adults [6]. Overall, about half of PWID in MENA are HCV infected (median: 44%; interquartile range (IQR): 31–64%), and prevalence as high as 90% has been reported among some PWID populations [6] (Figure 1). In addition to the estimated 300,000 HCV-infected current PWID [6], there could be as many as 2 million HCV-infected people who acquired the infection through past drug injection, but are no longer injecting. In the United States, for example, the number of HCV-infected previous PWID is more than seven times the number of HCV-infected current PWID [7]. Median HCV prevalence among people who inject drugs in the Middle East and North Africa as per available studies [6]. Error bars represent the lower and upper bounds of the interquartile range if more than one data point was available per country. The high HCV prevalence and the injecting risk behaviour environment suggest substantial ongoing HCV transmission [6]. This is affirmed by measured and estimated HCV incidence among PWID. In one study in Afghanistan, for example, an HCV incidence rate of 67 per 100 person-years (pyr) has been reported [8]. Preliminary mathematical modelling results suggest that PWID are a major driver of HCV incidence in MENA (Mumtaz et al., under preparation). Recent evidence has documented HIV epidemics among PWID in one-third of MENA countries [6]. The scale of the epidemic among PWID could be underestimated as the epidemic status remains unknown in half of MENA countries [6]. In some settings, HIV prevalence has reached unprecedented levels, such as in Tripoli, Libya at 87.2% [9]. The common pattern, however, remains that of emerging concentrated epidemics such as in Afghanistan and Egypt [6]. Most epidemics occurred only in the last decade and HIV prevalence hovers around 10–15% [6]. There is also evidence for substantial HIV incidence among PWID. HIV incidence rates of 1.7 [10], 2.2 [8] and 17.2 [11] per 100 pyr have been reported in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, respectively. Modelling work has estimated high incidence in Iran with the majority of infections being due to drug injection [12]. Case notifications also suggest a dominant contribution of PWID to HIV incidence in Afghanistan and Libya [6]. The early phase of the HIV epidemics and the prevalence of risky injecting and sexual practices suggest potential for further HIV epidemic growth among PWID [6]. Recent predictions suggest moderate to high HIV epidemic potential among PWID in countries such as Afghanistan, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Tunisia [13]. There is an urgent need to prioritize PWID for interventions and to scale up harm reduction services in MENA. In 2014, needle/syringe exchange programmes (NSPs) were implemented in ten MENA countries, and opioid substitution therapy (OST) in six [14]. These do not include Libya and Saudi Arabia, countries with high HCV prevalence among PWID (Figure 1). Among the other countries with substantial HCV infection burden, Morocco is the only one with operational NSP and OST programmes, while in Pakistan and Egypt only NSPs are provided. Iran remains the leader in harm reduction with an NSP coverage of 55–77% among PWID in 2014, and provision of OST through 4200 centres [14]. Limited funding, low and heterogeneous coverage of services, socio-cultural stigma and fear of arrest persist as major barriers for access and provision of harm reduction services [14]. MENA countries could benefit from Iran's experience in implementing harm reduction within the regional social-cultural context. With most PWID starting injecting at a young age, harm reduction should be adapted for young people and linked to other sectors such as education and employment [15]. Alongside prevention interventions, the recent availability of highly effective direct-acting antivirals to treat HCV offers hope for HCV-infected PWID. The prohibitively expensive cost of the drugs remains a major challenge for scale-up. Ensuring affordable access to treatment will only be possible with generic competition or with substantial price reductions on existing or upcoming drugs such as the 99% price discount negotiated by Egypt [16] and a similar discount negotiated recently by Pakistan. Generics are planned to be manufactured within the region, such as in Egypt and Morocco. Generics are being produced in India for as little as $750 for a full treatment course, and production costs may go down to $100 within a few years [17]. As the first Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis is being drafted, concerted efforts are needed for the development of National Strategic Plans for Viral Hepatitis, and possibly Viral Hepatitis Programmes, at country level in MENA, as is already materializing in a few countries including Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon and Iran. Such programmes can furnish the logistical framework for supporting HCV-related services among PWID through initiatives including testing, treatment and optimally harm reduction, in tandem with National AIDS Control Programme services. As for HIV treatment, much remains to be accomplished in a region that has one of the lowest antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverages worldwide with a median coverage of 16% (IQR: 6–17%) [18]. Limited HIV testing, the cost of ART to burdened health care systems, and poor access are obstacles for ART uptake and scale-up [19]. The median prevalence of lifetime HIV testing among PWID is 33% (IQR: 16–56%), and is very low in many countries with concentrated HIV epidemics such as in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Egypt [6]. While Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) has been initiated in most countries, uptake of services has been overall weak, partially because of weak non-governmental organizations (NGO) involvement, limited engagement of PWID, and social stigma [5]. Morocco is one exception where the strong civil society has facilitated broad and sizable access to VCT services for different populations [5]. Provision and access to HCV testing is even more limited because of the poor commitment to HCV treatment. Managing the structural barriers of social stigma, poverty, homelessness, criminalization and incarceration will facilitate both HIV and HCV testing, treatment and prevention scale-up for PWID in MENA [20]. There is a large marginalized population of over half a million PWID in MENA, half of whom are already HCV infected. There is also a larger population of HCV-infected previous injectors who are progressing through the natural course of disease without knowing the status of their infection or the opportunity of treatment. PWID in MENA are also enduring rising HIV epidemics, some of which have already reached high HIV prevalence. Advantage should be taken from the global momentum for tackling viral hepatitis, and courageous decisions are needed at the national level to develop or expand programmes that can tackle HCV and HIV public health burden among PWID. Scale-up of treatment and harm reduction services should be a main pillar of such programmes, alongside innovative strategies to overcome the challenges imposed by social stigma and criminalization. The authors have no competing interests to declare. GM wrote the first draft of the manuscript. All authors provided critical input to the manuscript and approved the final version.

Abstract Background The improper disposal of pharmaceutical preparations substantially threatens human health and environmental safety. Pharmacists are responsible for properly disposing of unwanted medications and educating patients about how to do so themselves. This study aimed to assess community pharmacists’ knowledge, determine their views on how to dispose of unwanted pharmaceuticals, and assess the extent to which they realize that it is their responsibility to guide patients toward the safe disposal of expired medications. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2021 and April 2022 among 400 practicing pharmacists who were chosen to participate by random cluster sampling. Community pharmacists’ practices, awareness, and beliefs about disposing of unused drugs were evaluated. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS) version 21 was used for data entry and analysis. Results Of 400 pharmacists, 348 stated that they did not participate in courses on the safe disposal of unwanted medications. Disposal of drugs in the garbage, an unsafe method, was very frequently recommended by pharmacists to patients, especially regarding inhalers, antibiotics, hormonal drugs, and solid and semisolid drugs. However, many pharmacists advised patients to return their hormonal, category B, and category C drugs to the pharmacy. A total of 61.3% of pharmacists agreed and 26% strongly agreed that unsafe disposal of drugs negatively affects the environment. A total of 54.3% of the participants agreed that improper disposal of antibiotics might be a reason for increased antimicrobial resistance, and 54.5% of them agreed that improper disposal of hormonal drugs might contribute to the development of certain cancers. A total of 80.3% of the participants perceived that most unwanted drugs in pharmacies were those returned from patients. A total of 97.3% of the participants supported establishing a drug disposal system, with 77.5% choosing to have the district health board responsible for funding this system. A total of 48.5% of the participants indicated that a lack of education and awareness on the issue of getting rid of unused drugs constitutes a challenge to the safe disposal of medicines, and 66% of them said that a lack of law enforcement constitutes another challenge. A total of 95.5% of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that good training for health sector workers and organizing workshops to develop knowledge on this subject would improve practices. A total of 93.3% supported distributing educational brochures, and 92.8% supported placing special containers in every pharmacy to collect unwanted drugs. Conclusions Most pharmacists in our study returned drugs to manufacturing companies and stores, and few followed the correct methods of incineration and return of drugs to the Ministry of Health. Current data emphasize the issue of improper disposal of medicine in Palestine and the need for improved education among healthcare workers.

There is a sentence that I still remember from one of myFrench geography textbooks in high-school: ‘‘Asia does notexist, has never existed, has never wanted to exist.’’Arguably, the first two clauses of this statement can beapplied to the Arab world. While we Arabs have wanted toexist as a single nation—this is what twentieth-centurypan-Arabism amounts to—we have never succeeded indoing so, our efforts having mostly spawned authoritarianregimes. Furthermore, only some us, mostly urban elites inCairo, Damascus and Baghdad, appear to have wanted thisunity. Maziak (2009) draws a list of health problemsplaguing our part of the world and rightly bemoans the lackof democratic practices and adequate social and institu-tional responses to these problems. He points astutely tosome underlying dynamics—women’s inferior social statusas a cause of honour crimes and poor physical and mentalhealth; authoritarian structures of government leading toflawed data collection with detrimental effects on healthmonitoring and so on. However, his diagnosis could havegone further had it not been based on a less convincingpremise, one that Maziak himself has brought to the fore:‘‘Understanding the complexity of generalizing to such avast and diverse region, there is a striking sense of unityand destiny among Arabs, and an ironic commonality ofproblems facing them nowadays.’’I see no evidence of such a sense of unity. Rather, whatis ironic is the lack of commonality in health problems,despite the shared language and culture. There is noescaping the fact that Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the UnitedArab Emirates, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine and Libya—topick a few countries almost randomly—appear to havevery different health problems, which partly reflect the vastdifferences in their respective social, historical and geo-graphical settings. A central determinant of Palestinian andSouth Lebanese health over the last few decades has beenIsraeli occupations and military incursions (Batniji et al.2009; Giacaman et al. 2009). Women in Saudi Arabia areconstrained by patriarchal structures which are deeplyentrenched, give rise to severe restrictions on freedom andcan easily turn into abuse (Human Rights Watch 2008),while youth in Lebanon are subject to relentless tobaccoadvertising (Saade et al. 2008) and high levels of traffic-related trauma (Gerbaka et al. 1999). Islamist and secularpolitical organizations have moved to fill in a gap in theprovision of primary health care in countries where thestate is relatively weak but not in others (Jabbour et al.2007). Wars in Iraq, Sudan and Somalia over the lastdecade have led to the death and injury of hundreds ofthousands of civilians. Occupational injury and violenceappear to be significant health problems for foreignworkers in the Arab Gulf, Lebanon and Jordan, althoughpeer-reviewed research on this topic remains scarce(UNDP 2005). Palestinian refugees in some Arab countriessuffer from systematic institutional and legal discrimi-nation with significant health implications. Cairo, amegalopolis of over 15 millions, may have more in com-mon with Sao Paolo, Casablanca or Calcutta, than Sanaa,Ryadh or Baghdad. Indeed, many health and socio-eco-nomic indicators at the end of the Arab DevelopmentReport 2005 do reflect this wide variability (UNDP 2005).The premise of ‘commonality of problems’ alas blightsMaziak’s otherwise powerful and brave article.Many health dynamics are probably shared by a largenumber of Arab countries, without being mere reflectionsof broader globalization trends relevant to Asia, Africa and

In their Series paper, A Mark Clarfield and colleagues (June 24, 2017, p 2503)1Clarfield AM Manor O Nun GB et al.Health and health care in Israel: an introduction.Lancet. 2017; 389: 2503-2513Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (106) Google Scholar stated that, during six decades of progress, Israel has developed a solid public health system with reasonable health indices over the lifespan of the Israeli population. This introduction explicitly refuses to address the roots of one of Israel's most urgent health issues: the preventable premature morbidity and mortality of Palestinians, whether citizens of Israel or residents of the occupied Palestinian territory. Last year marked the 50 year anniversary of military occupation, which, according to international law, assigns Israel ultimate responsibility for Palestinian health. By contrast, in The Lancet Series on health equity in the USA, Zinzi D Bailey and colleagues2Bailey ZD Kreiger N Agénor M Graves J Linos N Bassett MT Structural racism and health inequities in the USA: evidence and interventions.Lancet. 2017; 389: 1453-1463Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1862) Google Scholar described the effects of slavery, Jim Crow, and racism on health outcomes for black Americans. Palestinian health is similarly affected by an ongoing legacy of forced displacement, land confiscation, systemic discrimination, and Israeli impunity for acts of state-sanctioned violence. Clarfield and colleagues chose to “not comprehensively address historical or political issues, except when directly pertaining to health”. What has become clear globally is that historical and political issues always directly affect health. Therefore, as described by Bailey and colleagues, these forces must be elucidated to understand and appropriately respond to current health inequities. Statements such as “despite substantial organisational and financial investment, disparities persist based on ethnic origin or religion, other socioeconomic factors, and, regardless of the country's small size, a geographic maldistribution of resources” can and must be explained by their historical and political roots. We declare no competing interests. Health and health care in Israel: an introductionStarting well before Independence in 1948, and over the ensuing six decades, Israel has built a robust, relatively efficient public system of health care, resulting in good health statistics throughout the life course. Because of the initiative of people living under the British Mandate for Palestine (1922–48), the development of many of today's health services predated the state's establishment by several decades. An extensive array of high-quality services and technologies is available to all residents, largely free at point of service, via the promulgation of the 1994 National Health Insurance Law. Full-Text PDF Health equity in IsraelIn the first paper in The Lancet's Series on Health in Israel , A Mark Clarfield and colleagues1 praised the development of health-care services before the establishment of Israel, highlighting health-care needs among Jewish immigrants while ignoring the substantial health consequences2 of the 1948 Nakba (The Palestinian Catastrophe), when nearly 1 million Palestinians were expelled from their lands. Some were internally displaced; others became refugees who were denied basic rights. Israel missed the opportunity to create an egalitarian health-care system when the activities of Medical Services for Minorities—previously a division of the Ministry of Health— were done in collaboration with, and by the orders of, the military administration. Full-Text PDF Health equity in IsraelAlthough The Lancet is to be commended for publishing an important letter on the Gaza assault,1 the Health in Israel Series omits key aspects and viewpoints. Full-Text PDF Health equity in Israel – Authors' replyWe thank the correspondents for their thoughtful comments. All respondents were critical of the fact that our Series paper1 did not address Palestinian health or give adequate expression to the problem of health disparities. As we mentioned, the purpose of the Series was to assess the Israeli health-care system that offers comprehensive, publicly funded, and administered care to all legal residents, including Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs. Our introductory paper to this ten-paper Series was meant to offer an overview of the relevant subjects and we could not be expected to cover each in depth. Full-Text PDF

This research discusses the literature review that covers three aspects related to the context of Palestine: Palestinians background; special considerations related to interior architecture and interior design; and health system in Palestine. The literature review discusses general information that provides an overview of the importance of creating a dedicated children's hospital in Palestine. The context of this study identified four important factors that may have a potential influence on healthcare design in Palestine, particularly children's hospital design. Such issues provide a strong platform to conduct qualitative research that uses an innovative workshop format for a new children’s hospital in Palestine. The key findings of this research provide recommendations for the design of children's hospitals, particularly public spaces in the context of Palestine.

Antenatal micronutrient deficiencies and anemia represent a public health burden in Palestine refugee enclaves throughout the Middle East. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) provides care to 90,000 Palestine refugee pregnant women each year, and in 2020 started using mutliple micronutrient supplements (MMS), launching a three-year program. This articles presents the processes and results for introducing MMS in Jordan and within the UNRWA health system.

Background: The protracted Israel-Palestine conflict has once again escalated, resulting in a dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip (Palestine). This brief report aims to provide an objective overview of the historical roots of the conflict, its impact on public health, and a call to action to end the ongoing atrocities. Methods: A literature search was conducted on PubMed, focusing on the period after the recent escalation in October 2023. Seven relevant papers were identified, serving as primary sources for this analysis. Results: We begin by presenting an unbiased historical account of the Israel-Palestine conflict and tracing its origins to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This historical context forms the foundation for comprehending the current crisis and the urgent appeal for humanitarian intervention. The escalating violence has placed immense strain on the healthcare system in Gaza Strip (Palestine), resulting in overwhelmed hospitals, critically low medical supplies, and severe hardships for healthcare workers. Furthermore, the civilian population, especially children, bears the brunt of the conflict, with high casualties and long-term trauma. Urgent calls for a ceasefire, protection of civilians, and the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid are emphasized. Finally, the necessity of addressing these issues through an objective academic lens is emphasized to foster a deeper understanding of multifaceted conflict. Conclusion: The catastrophic impact of ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip (Palestine) on public health is undeniable. Immediate action is imperative to halt atrocities, protect civilian lives, and support medical personnel in their life-saving mission. The call for an objective evaluation of the complex factors at play transcends historical grievances and political differences.

It was with great astonishment that I read John Yudkin's allegations against the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) and the leadership abilities of Yoram Blachar (April 4, p 1155).1Yudkin JS The responsibilities of the World Medical Association President.Lancet. 2009; 373: 1155-1157Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (5) Google Scholar Blachar, in his previous role as World Medical Association (WMA) Chair of Council, had an integral role in the launching and implementation of the Istanbul Protocol—a set of international guidelines for the investigation and documentation of torture. There is no question that the issue of torture is a priority for him and he fully agrees with the importance of combating the phenomenon where it exists.Yudkin accuses Blachar of providing “unverified” reports, yet he himself states things that lack factual basis. For instance, he claims that the IMA's position paper on health services in international conflict is published only in the international section of our website, but not the Hebrew section. The paper can be found on the main Hebrew website (under public policy-position papers) and has been accessible there for several years.Regarding the allegations brought in the 2007 report by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel,2Public Committee Against Torture in IsraelTicking bombs: testimonies of torture victims in Israel.http://www.stoptorture.org.il/en/node/69Google Scholar the IMA has thoroughly investigated the allegations made. Since the names were listed somewhat incompletely or inconsistently, it took some time to track down all the contact details of the physicians, particularly since several are not IMA members. However, we did manage to reach most of those listed, and Avinoam Reches, Chairman of the IMA Ethics Committee, personally spoke with each of them. Most denied any past or present connection with the Israeli Prison Services. Of the three who were employed there, all vigorously denied any involvement in interrogations, torture, or medical approval for the above. Unfortunately, without any real evidence other than the word of the prisoners in these cases, it is impossible to confirm or deny any such claim.Blachar's presidency of the WMA provides many opportunities for the global medical community. As Chair of the WMA Council, he has led or been involved in initiatives to counter organ trading in China, to ensure children's right to health care, and to condemn the genocide in Darfur. Blachar's platform as President has committed the WMA to fighting inequalities in health and using the WMA as a path for medical diplomacy. Under such leadership, the global medical community can make much progress. It was with great astonishment that I read John Yudkin's allegations against the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) and the leadership abilities of Yoram Blachar (April 4, p 1155).1Yudkin JS The responsibilities of the World Medical Association President.Lancet. 2009; 373: 1155-1157Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (5) Google Scholar Blachar, in his previous role as World Medical Association (WMA) Chair of Council, had an integral role in the launching and implementation of the Istanbul Protocol—a set of international guidelines for the investigation and documentation of torture.

Of the three who were employed there, all vigorously denied any involvement in interrogations, torture, or medical approval for the above. Unfortunately, without any real evidence other than the word of the prisoners in these cases, it is impossible to confirm or deny any such claim. Blachar's presidency of the WMA provides many opportunities for the global medical community. As Chair of the WMA Council, he has led or been involved in initiatives to counter organ trading in China, to ensure children's right to health care, and to condemn the genocide in Darfur. Blachar's platform as President has committed the WMA to fighting inequalities in health and using the WMA as a path for medical diplomacy. Under such leadership, the global medical community can make much progress. Responsibilities of the President of the World Medical Association – Author's replyIn my Comment on the responsibilities of the president of the World Medical Association (WMA), I suggested that, on taking on this role, the president of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA), Yoram Blachar, might begin to view in a new light the involvement of medical and health-care professionals in abuses of human rights in Israel, Palestine, and the occupied Palestinian territory. I am disappointed that there has, so far, been no response to my challenges, either from Blachar, or from the WMA. Full-Text PDF

Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the occupied Palestinian territory, and the burden of diabetes among refugees in the West Bank region of the territory has increased drastically in the past three decades. Community health worker programmes have been effective in controlling diabetes in many parts of the world, but data from the Middle East and north Africa regions and in settings of chronic violence are scarce. This study sought to assess the efficacy of diabetes control with a home-based community health worker programme, Health for Palestine, which included Palestinian refugee community health workers and patients in Aida and Al-Azza Camps in the occupied Palestinian territory.We conducted a retrospective, matched cohort study, over 19 months, comparing the concentrations of haemoglobin A1c in individuals with diabetes cared for by Health for Palestine community health workers (n=30) and in non-health worker individuals with diabetes (n=120), all of whom were refugees who received care at UN Relief and Works Agency clinics. The Health for Palestine community health worker intervention, collectively termed social accompaniment, includes diet and exercise counselling, medication supervision and adherence support, vital signs and glucose monitoring, trauma-informed psychosocial counselling, facilitation of transportation to clinic, and supportive referrals to clinics or hospitals. We tested for significance with multivariable linear regression with robust standard errors, using an ordinary least squares regression of the outcome with and without prespecified covariates.Health for Palestine community health workers had an average 1·4 absolute percentage point (95% CI 0·66-2·1) greater decline in haemoglobin A1c per year than the non-community health worker cohort, after adjustment for potential confounders including smoking status, hypertension, physical activity, and history of myocardial infarction or stroke (p<0·001). Potentially relevant unmeasured confounders include patient proximity to a UN Relief and Works Agency clinic, whether the control patient lived within a refugee camp or nearby, and traumatic events related to the occupation. The unadjusted reduction in haemoglobin A1c in Health for Palestine community health workers with diabetes was 1·2 points (from a baseline value of 8·4% to 7·2%). At the end of the study period, 77% of Health for Palestine community health workers (from a baseline proportion of 50%; p=0·83, Fisher's exact analysis) and 46% of non-community health worker participants (from a baseline proportion of 47%; p=0·003) met the haemoglobin A1c target of <8%.A community health worker intervention grounded in social accompaniment is associated with improved diabetes control in urban refugee camps and in communities experiencing chronic violence. A low exclusion cutoff for haemoglobin A1c (<6·5%) might underestimate the programme's effectiveness. Although community health worker programmes are uncommon in the occupied Palestinian territory and the greater region, these results suggest that such programmes can successfully augment existing efforts to improve diabetes control and outcomes.1for3 and Lajee Center.

Suicide cases in Palestine continue to record a remarkable annual increase, but we lack a comprehensive verified national data collection system of suicide and it is expected that real numbers of attempted/suicide in Palestine are higher because not all suicide or attempted suicide cases are reported. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a time-limited training intervention in enhancing healthcare providers' diagnostic and intervention skills to deal with suicidal patients who visit emergency departments in Palestinian hospitals.The sample consisted of 43 healthcare providers who work in public hospitals in the northern of the West Bank of Palestine, ranging from 25 to 56 years, involving 36 males and 7 females. A one-group quasi-experimental design was used, in which the experimental group received a training program to enhance healthcare providers' diagnostic and intervention skills to deal with suicidal ideations and attempts, the intervention lasted for 8 weeks, with 1 session per week. The performance of the experimental group was tested before and after the intervention.Our findings revealed the effectiveness of the training intervention in enhancing participants' suicide assessment, diagnosis, and self-care skills.These results suggest that a brief and carefully developed training intervention can potentially change healthcare providers' perceptions and behaviors toward suicide with a possible impact on clinical care therein.

Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the novel coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to cause significant public health burden and disruption globally. Genomic epidemiology approaches point to most countries in the world having experienced many independent introductions of SARS-CoV-2 during the early stages of the pandemic. However, this situation may change with local lockdown policies and restrictions on travel leading to the emergence of more geographically structured viral populations and lineages transmitting locally. Here, we report the first SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Palestine sampled from early March, when the first cases were observed, through to August of 2020. SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Palestine fall across the diversity of the global phylogeny, consistent with at least nine independent introductions into the region. We identify one locally predominant lineage in circulation represented by 50 Palestinian SARS-CoV-2, grouping with isolated viral samples from patients in Israel and the UK. We estimate the age of introduction of this lineage to 05/02/2020 (16/01/2020 - 19/02/2020), suggesting SARS-CoV-2 was already in circulation in Palestine predating its first detection in Bethlehem in early March. Our work highlights the value of ongoing genomic surveillance and monitoring to reconstruct the epidemiology of COVID-19 at both local and global scales.

Smoking cessation counseling is not well established in Middle East countries including Palestine. This study assesses the practice of smoking cessation counseling among primary healthcare (PHC) physicians in Palestine and its determinants.Over the period from April to September 2019, general practitioners, family medicine physicians, obstetricians and gynecologists, and dentists working at the PHC Centers in Palestine were approached through a cross-sectional design using a self-reported questionnaire. Proportionate stratified random sampling approach has been used. Sociodemographic, medical background, smoking cessation counseling training, smoking history, practice, knowledge, attitude, and confidence were evaluated. The proportion of favorable practice has been determined and its relationship with all variables has been evaluated. Ethical approval was received from the National University of An-Najah.295 physicians were enrolled in the study with an 86% response rate. 75.5% (n = 222) were males with a mean age of 39.9 ± 9 years. The majority were General Practitioners (76.5%, n = 252). Most of them (84.3%, n = 215) had not received any training. The favorable practice was seen in 36.6% (95% CI 31-41%). Attitude is the main predictor of favorable practice (P value = 0.002, adjusted OR = 1.1).Palestinian PHC physicians have a low level of counseling for smoking cessation. Given the efficacy of counseling for smoking cessation and the high level of the tobacco epidemic in the area, health policy to ensure all healthcare personnel-especially physicians-receive training in cessation counseling and call for a public health campaign for control of tobacco should be taken into account.

Until 1929, midwifery in Palestine was relatively open to anyone and only partially regulated by the 1918 Public Health Ordinance, legislated shortly after the beginning of British rule. This article describes the factors that guided the shaping of midwifery and suggests possible sources of inspiration for the British legislator in crafting the Midwives Ordinance in 1929, including American, local (Jews and Arabs), and British ones. The Midwives Ordinance reflects the adjustment of midwifery to changes in the society that evolved under the British Mandate. The ordinance shows how the modern midwife’s role contracted relative to the traditional one, in the context of social processes in other countries, east and west. This historical research project is based on interviews, archive documents and research literature. It analyzes the British interests in regulating midwifery, including the rationale of preserving public health and reducing infant mortality, against a background of political power struggles as well as cultural, social and professional diversity in Palestine (the tensions between the powers of doctors, nurses, and pharmacists).

The work of the Institute of Community and Public Health at Birzeit University, Palestine, seeks to link the biological/biomedical sphere to the political sphere through the concept of suffering. This interview explores the ways they work to expose the sociopolitical conditions of life in order to simultaneously personalise war and politicise health.

Abstract Background This trial evaluates interventions that utilize data entered at point-of-care in the Palestinian maternal and child eRegistry to generate Quality Improvement Dashboards (QID) for healthcare providers and Targeted Client Communication (TCC) via short message service (SMS) to clients. The aim is to assess the effectiveness of the automated communication strategies from the eRegistry on improving attendance and quality of care for pregnant women. Methods This four-arm cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Palestine, and includes 138 clusters (primary healthcare clinics) enrolling from 45 to 3000 pregnancies per year. The intervention tools are the QID and the TCC via SMS, automated from the eRegistry built on the District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) Tracker. The primary outcomes are appropriate screening and management of anemia, hypertension, and diabetes during pregnancy; and timely attendance to antenatal care. Primary analysis, at the individual-level taking the design effect of the clustering into account, will be done as intention-to-treat. Discussion This trial, embedded in the implementation of the eRegistry in Palestine, will inform the use of digital health interventions as a health systems strengthening approach.

Author(s): Mooreville, Anat | Advisor(s): Stein, Sarah A | Abstract: The dissertation considers how a wide range of actors—including physicians, scientists, hospitals, aid organizations, governments, and the public—understood the infectious eye disease trachoma and deemed eye health salient from political, economic, scientific and cultural perspectives in Palestine and Israel from the late nineteenth century through the 1970s. Even though the causative agent was not isolated until 1957, there was a strong consensus at the beginning of the twentieth century that poverty, unhygienic practices, and ignorance facilitated trachoma. This etiology allowed Jewish ophthalmologists to construct it as a disease that was receptive to biological, cultural, and social interventions. My dissertation explores the design and implementation of Jewish anti-trachoma efforts; how physicians produced biomedical discourses on trachoma that were entangled with cultural constructions of the Arab East; and the wide set of transnational developments and relationships that configure the story of ocular expertise in Israel.Using a wide array of state and organizational archival papers, memoirs, and scientific publications, this study investigates what it meant for trachoma to be considered a “disease of the Orient” throughout three political regimes in Palestine and Israel, and the social, ethnic, and political tensions the presence of trachoma raised about who was modern. During Ottoman and British Mandate Palestine, trachoma treatment instigated questions about the boundaries between Jews and Arabs, Middle Eastern Jews and European Jews, physicians and auxiliaries, biomedicine and folk remedies, and the health of the eye and the health of the nation. In the postwar period, when trachoma nosedived as an Israeli public health priority, trachoma instead illuminates how Jewish organizations and the State of Israel utilized their ocular expertise to make their mark on the Third World through technical solutions embodied as development aid, both to Jews in North Africa and non-Jews in sub-Saharan Africa. The history of trachoma not only highlights how important ophthalmology was in conceptualizing public health in the Middle East, but also creates new sites of global medical inquiry by linking Zionist social welfare practices, international Jewish philanthropy and postcolonial medical diplomacy.

Abstract Background: This trial evaluates interventions that utilize data entered at point-of-care in the Palestinian maternal and child eRegistry to generate Quality Improvement Dashboards (QID) for healthcare providers and Targeted Client Communication (TCC) via short message service (SMS) to clients. The aim is to assess the effectiveness of the automated communication strategies from the eRegistry on improving attendance and quality of care for pregnant women. Methods: This four-arm cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Palestine, and includes 138 clusters (primary healthcare clinics) enrolling from 45 to 3000 pregnancies per year. The intervention tools are the QID and the TCC via SMS, automated from the eRegistry built on the District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) Tracker. The primary outcomes are appropriate screening and management of anemia, hypertension, and diabetes during pregnancy; and timely attendance to antenatal care. Primary analysis, at the individual-level taking the design effect of the clustering into account, will be done as intention-to-treat. Discussion: This trial, embedded in the implementation of the eRegistry in Palestine, will inform the use of digital health interventions as a health systems strengthening approach.

Executive SummaryThe COVID-19 pandemic exposes the need for public health preventive medicine (PHPM) physicians in Gaza, Palestine. The lack of public health education in Gaza causes its population, physicians included, to be unaware of the necessity of preventative medicine, especially during this pandemic. We propose that the Palestine Medical Council (the Council) implements the following policy steps: - Approve the Gaza Medical Reserve Corps (the Reserves) as creators, trainers, and hosts of Gaza’s PHPM residency program; - Certify the PHPM board exams, assist in medical education, and issue the specialty license; and - Support the Reserve’s efforts to gain financial sustainability and adhere to health laws and ethics.According to Articles 4 and 5 of the Council’s Objectives and Functions, the Council has the authority to execute these steps. In doing so, PHPM physicians will be able to provide Gazans with primary care and telehealth services currently unavailable and relieve overworked physicians who average 113 daily medical consultations. The Reserves currently serve three of PHPM physicians’ four duties: education and outreach, research and development, and public health policy and advocacy. PHPM physicians will not be able to fulfil its fourth duty of providing health services without the Council’s support. By helping establish the PHPM specialty, the Council will assist in strengthening Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure during this critical time, which will, in turn, aid in the betterment of Gaza's overall health.

A One Health and transdisciplinary perspective, considering human-animal-environmental interfaces, is central to food safety as it embeds food production systems in their environmental, socio-economic, and public health context. Compared to frameworks that solely concentrate on specific aspects of food safety, integrated One Health approaches add value to improve human, animal, and environmental health. According to the World Health Organization, preventative measures that have been implemented to lower the prevalence of Campylobacter in live poultry have been linked to a corresponding drop in human cases. This highlights the importance of cross-sectoral cooperation and demonstrates how the complex socio-ecological system interacts. One Health pays particular attention to the interaction of food security, human health, and environmental sustainability rather than removing food systems from their context. This case study tries to find a critical methodology to foster food safety by better understanding the zoonotic foodborne illnesses transmission and their resistance to antimicrobials in socio-ecological systems like in Palestine. This project recommends urgently building a national surveillance system in Palestine to efficiently and sustainably monitor and manage zoonotic disease outbreaks, the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and other health threats. It is essential to regularly gather and assess samples from humans, animals, foods, and the environment to check for zoonotic pathogens and their levels of antimicrobial resistance.© The Authors 2023

Executive SummaryThe COVID-19 pandemic exposes the need for public health preventive medicine (PHPM) physicians in Gaza, Palestine. The lack of public health education in Gaza causes its population, physicians included, to be unaware of the necessity of preventative medicine, especially during this pandemic. We propose that the Palestine Medical Council (the Council) implements the following policy steps: 1. Approve the Gaza Medical Reserve Corps (the Reserves) as creators, trainers, and hosts of Gaza’s PHPM residency program; 2. Certify the PHPM board exams, assist in medical education, and issue the specialty license; and 3. Support the Reserve’s efforts to gain financial sustainability and adhere to health laws and ethics.According to Articles 4 and 5 of the Council’s Objectives and Functions, the Council has the authority to execute these steps. In doing so, PHPM physicians will be able to provide Gazans with primary care and telehealth services currently unavailable and relieve overworked physicians who average 113 daily medical consultations. The Reserves currently serve three of PHPM physicians’ four duties: education and outreach, research and development, and public health policy and advocacy. PHPM physicians will not be able to fulfil its fourth duty of providing health services without the Council’s support. By helping establish the PHPM specialty, the Council will assist in strengthening Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure during this critical time, which will, in turn, aid in the betterment of Gaza's overall health.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach on the performance of a group of students in a biostatistics course at Palestine Polytechnic University (PPU). A questionnaire and the class performance are used as the study instruments to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach. The results are compared with another homogeneous group of students using conventional learning. Statistical analysis is carried out to check the significant difference between the two groups. The analysis reveals that the flipped classroom had better class performance and a higher level of satisfaction than conventional learning.

Anaemia in pregnancy is the most common public health concern in both developed and developing worlds like Palestine. Little is known about this significant health issue. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the perception, opinions and attitudes of anaemia among refugees pregnant women in Gaza strip. A cross-sectional study was employed among a random sample of 164 women or subjects, with a response rate of 81%. The survey was conducted at UNRWA antenatal health centers at refugee camps in Gaza strip. The study was approved by United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) health department. The study elucidated that a higher rate of women were knowledgeable and had ideas on anaemia, however, some women had inadequate knowledge on anaemia during pregnancy. There were a concern and misconception regarding some issues on anaemia such as; lack of knowledge on the effect of drinking tea on iron absorption; and on the side effects of iron pills during pregnancy. Highly positive opinions and attitudes toward anaemia were observed in most women. The study found that a high proportion of women were dissatisfied with the volume of health education sessions on anaemia at UNRWA antenatal health centers and many women had not attended or joined such sessions. In general, the study declined to find a significant differences regarding anaemia between women with and those without health education sessions on anaemia. Finally, the study suggests that, an effective and a clear health education strategy is needed in order to improve women perceptions, awareness, opinions and attitudes regarding anaemia in Palestine. Further researches are important and needed in this scope.

We assessed the current situation of health services in the northern districts of the West Bank of Palestine as regards the providers of the services, the services provided, the human resources working in the services and the sufficiency of the services with respect to the size of the populations. We found that 21% of the total population in the northern districts did not have private medical clinics and 13% did not even have primary health care centres. There has been an increase in the number of governmental primary health care centers and a decrease in the number of nongovernmental and charitable centres since the Palestinian National Authority took over responsibility for public health services through the Ministry of Health.

Forensic Psychology is the branch of psychology focused on the production and application of psychological principles to the legal process including competency, validity of defenses based on mental health behavior, predicting violent behavior, assessing injury and child custody1. Forensic Psychology has evolved in the United States since 2001 when it was recognized as a specialty of the American Psychological Association (APA) and psychologists are now serving the court systems in a wide variety of tasks2. Unfortunately, in developing nations such as Palestine both access to and understanding of the specialty of Forensic Psychology is minimal, leaving critical functions of legal systems where psychological data is needed, unserved and uninformed3. The following study was conducted in Nablus, West Bank Palestine where the first Master of Clinical Psychology program has produced a cohort of mental health professionals with an expertise in Forensic Psychology. The intervention focused on the training of lawyers (with a specialty in domestic violence and family protection) on the general principles and uses of psychology in the legal system and an introduction of how they could use forensic psychologists to the benefit of the court. The data determined that participants in the one-day training module gain significant understanding and motivation to use forensic psychologists in their practice (.002 level of significance) and that the effect was undifferentiated by age, gender, place of residence or education level). The current study determines that with a minimal effort legal professionals can gain both understanding and a motivation to use psychological professionals, even in systems where there was no previous exposure to the field. Such openings can change the practice of law and legal systems in a positive way to include the expertise of mental health professionals at every level of governance and jurisdiction. Having access to and incorporating psychological data from qualified professionals into developing legal institutions is critical in insuring human rights and scienced based evidence at every level of societal systems.

Overweight and obesity are the fifth leading risk for global deaths. At least 2.8 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. The study aim to evaluate the effect of application of health belief model (HBM) among youth at high risk for obesity in Palestine (West Bank). Research design: A quasi- experimental design was used. Settings: The study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing /A-Najah National University which located in Nablus and IBN Sina College for Health Sciences, West Bank- Palestine. Subjects: A purposive sample of 117 students, from both previous setting at high risk for obesity was included. Tools, three tools were used to collect data. A self-administered questionnaire, it was composed of 4 parts; the health belief model (HBM) sub- constructs which used in this study and anthropometric measurement to detect body mass index & levels of risk for obesity. Results: Revealed that according to BMI and levels of risk for obesity shows, less than half of youth were obesity class1 (low risk) while more than one third was obesity class II (moderate risk). There was a highly significant difference between student’s knowledge and their practices regarding obesity, healthy food, and exercises pre & post application of HBM. Conclusion: Application of health belief model was effective in improved knowledge and practices of the student at high risk for obesity and changing health behavior. Recommendations: Conducting routine screening for obesity, dieting, and other weight reduction practices as an integral part of the ongoing health care provided by all health services. HBM also suggests that the benefits and barriers of changing health behavior must be taken into consideration, as those who perceive more benefits than barriers are more likely to take action.

The discussion about breast cancer (BC) causation continues to be surrounded by a number of myths and misbeliefs. If efforts are misdirected towards reducing risk from false mythical causes, individuals might be less likely to consider and adopt risk-reducing behaviors for evidence-based BC causes. This national study aimed to assess the awareness of BC causation myths and misbeliefs among Palestinian women, and examine the factors associated with having good awareness.This national cross-sectional study recruited adult women from government hospitals, primary healthcare centers, and public spaces in 11 governorates in Palestine. A modified version of the Cancer Awareness Measure-Mythical Causes Scale was used to collect data. The level of awareness of BC causation myths was determined based on the number of myths recognized to be incorrect: poor (0-5), fair (6-10), or good (11-15).A total of 5,257 questionnaires were included. Only 269 participants (5.1%) demonstrated good awareness (i.e., recognizing more than 10 out of 15 BC mythical causes). There were no notable differences in displaying good awareness between the main areas of Palestine, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and Jerusalem (5.1% vs. 5.1%). Having chronic disease as well as visiting hospitals and primary healthcare centers were associated with a decrease in the likelihood of displaying good awareness. Myths related to food were less frequently recognized as incorrect than food-unrelated myths. 'Eating burnt food' was the most recognized food-related myth (n = 1414, 26.9%), while 'eating food containing additives' was the least recognized (n = 599, 11.4%). 'Having a physical trauma' was the most recognized food-unrelated myth (n = 2795, 53.2%), whereas the least recognized was 'wearing tight bra' (n = 1018, 19.4%).A very small proportion of Palestinian women could recognize 10 or more myths around BC causation. There is a substantial need to include clear information about BC causation in future educational interventions besides focusing on BC screening, signs and symptoms, and risk factors.

The article focuses on two instances when physicians were dismissed from their position as medical examiners in the Warsaw Eretz Israel office in 1925-28. These two related episodes serve as a case study for placing the medical examination of Jewish immigrants to Palestine by the Zionist movement in a broader social, political and professional context. Apart from their important public health function, Zionist physicians and administrators viewed the medical examination as an important vehicle for acquiring political and professional authority, which created constant tensions among political, ideological and medical considerations. An analysis of the various interests involved can help to understand the interaction between Zionism and public health during a decisive period when the basis for the medical selection of immigrants by the Zionist movement was being laid.

This paper explores how demarketing strategies impact women's breastfeeding attitudes, intentions, and behaviors under the moderation of time pressure and breastfeeding knowledge.A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey among 369 respondents is used to test the proposed hypotheses. The study's population includes all breastfeeding women in Palestine. Snowball and convenience sampling were used to choose study participants through personal connections and social media. Every respondent was encouraged to share the survey with their social media contacts.The data results confirm the positive effects of promotion, place, price, and product demarketing, respectively, on women's attitudes, intentions, and behavior toward breastfeeding. These effects were reinforced by reduction in time pressure and breastfeeding knowledge. Furthermore, demarketing effects are stronger for younger, more educated, unemployed, and lower-income women.The study is a primer on promoting breastfeeding instead of formula by means of demarketing strategies.

We assessed the knowledge, attitudes and practices of some aspects of environmental health among residents of Ramallah and Al-Bireh district, Palestine. We found that few residents had attended sessions of awareness in environmental health but 83.6% were willing to participate in such events to raise public awareness. Most residents (91.2%) were aware of the relationship between water and human health, but only 39.7% reported that they or their families cleaned their water tanks more than once a year. Only 76.3% of the respondents reported that they always washed their hands before eating and only 67.0% reported that they checked the safety of food before eating. Only 33.7% felt reassured when they ate in restaurants. This was due to lack of cleanliness of the restaurants, staff and utensils, and the uncertainty regarding the source of the food.

Abstract We measure the impact introducing a of 10% co-payment component on hospitalisation costs for Palestine refugees from Lebanon in public and private hospitals. This ex-post analysis provides a detailed insight on the direction and magnitude of the policy impact in terms of demand and supply for healthcare. The data was collected by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and include episode level information from all public, private and Red Crescent Hospitals in Lebanon, between April 2016 and October 2017. This is a complete population episode level dataset with information from before and after the policy change. We use multinomial logit, negative binomial and linear models to estimate the policy impact on demand by type of hospital, average length of stay and treatment costs for the patient and the provider. After the new policy was implemented patients were 18% more likely to choose a (free-of-charge) PRCS hospital for secondary care, instead of a Private or Public hospital, where the co-payment was introduced. This impact was stronger for episodes with longer stays, which are also the more severe and more expensive cases. Average length of stay decreased in general for all hospitals and we could not find a statistically significant impact on costs for the provider nor the patient. We find evidence that the introduction of co-payments is hospital costs led to a shift in demand, but it is not clear to what extent the hospitals receiving this demand shift were prepared for having more patients than before, also because these are typically of less quality then the others. Regarding costs, there is no evidence that the provider managed to contain costs with the new policy, as the demand adapted to the changes. Our findings provide important information on hospitalisation expenses and the consequences of a policy change from a lessons learned perspective that should be taken into account for future policy decision making. Key messages We show that in a context of poverty, the introduction of payment for specific hospital types can be efficient for shifting demand, but has doubtable impact on costs containment for the provider. The co-payment policy can have a negative impact on patients' health since after its implementation demand increased at free-of-charge hospitals, which typically have less resources to treat patients.

Background: Electronic medical records (EMR) are considered an important aspect to improve medical services provided to patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the development of an Electronic Medical Records Project for Al-Razi hospital in Palestine. Design and Methods: The study was mixed method, qualitative and quantitative. The use of a questionnaire for the staff in the Al-Razi hospital and seven administrators’ participants were meat as focus group. Results: Approximately 136 participants in the study. The study findings reported that employees perceived the use of EMRs to have several benefits. The most common benefits include promoting patient safety culture and drug error reduction. In addition, the study findings reported that employees perceived the use of EMRs to have several challenges. The most common challenges include lack of knowledge and skill, insufficient time to use EMR, and limited of computers. Conclusions: Health informatics brings various benefits to the healthcare system. Some participants believed that the EMR system would improve patient care and it will improve patient satisfaction.

BackgroundIn 2016, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) changed from covering the full cost of secondary care in contracted public and private hospitals in Lebanon, Jordan, to requesting that these hospitals pay 10% of the costs. Meanwhile, services at UNWRA-contracted Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) hospitals remained fully covered. We did a health economics analysis to assess the effects this policy change on the demand for secondary care in UNRWA hospitals.MethodsWe assessed the difference in use of different types of hospital (demand) from January to May, 2016, and June, 2016, to October, 2017, before and after the payment policy change. Data were collected by UNWRA from each hospital's database, including individual-level inpatient information for 22 193 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon who were admitted to secondary care at UNRWA-contracted hospitals (public, private, and PRCS). We used regression analyses to estimate the effects on demand for the different hospital types, length of stay, and total costs of treatment to UNWRA and patients.FindingsAround 64% of patients attended PRCS, 26% private, and 9% public hospitals. According to our econometric estimations, after June, 2016, patients were 16% more likely to choose a PRCS hospital over the other types of hospital. Mean length of stay in PRCS hospitals increased, leading to a 20% chance of patients staying 1 day longer in PRCS hospitals than in public or private hospitals. However, the length of stay in public and private hospitals decreased (by an average of 22% at public and 28% at private hospitals), giving an overall decrease in length of stay of 13%. In terms of bill value (ie, total costs to UNRWA and to patients), we found no difference between before and after the policy change.InterpretationThe introduction of the UNWRA cost-sharing component for secondary care led patients to attend PRCS hospitals more often and for longer periods of time. The finding that no effect was seen on costs for UNRWA or patients suggests that the 10% cut in cover at public and private hospitals did not save any money for UNWRA because patients managed to accommodate the increase by changing their hospital preference The study is limited in that it cannot argue causality between the policy and the results found because there is no control group. Nevertheless, robustness testing, including assessing the year 2017, supports our results. This study contributes to the literature on the impacts of co-payments in health care in a very specific context of poverty and conflict that has rarely been subject to scrutiny and provides feedback to UNRWA on a health-care system measure, relevant for future policy designs.FundingNone.

“Tikkun olam” translated from Hebrew means “to mend the world”, a maxim that has been at the heart of Orly Manor's career. She is Professor of the Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and has been a leading figure behind the Lancet Series about health in Israel. Her current research activities are divided between two main projects: one evaluating the quality of treatment of Israeli health care, the other being a long-term project investigating the developmental origin of adult diseases. Health and health care in Israel: an introductionStarting well before Independence in 1948, and over the ensuing six decades, Israel has built a robust, relatively efficient public system of health care, resulting in good health statistics throughout the life course. Because of the initiative of people living under the British Mandate for Palestine (1922–48), the development of many of today's health services predated the state's establishment by several decades. An extensive array of high-quality services and technologies is available to all residents, largely free at point of service, via the promulgation of the 1994 National Health Insurance Law.

A health information system (HIS) plays an important role in ensuring that reliable and timely health information is available for operational and strategic decision making that saves lives and enhances health. Despite their importance for evidence-based decisions, health information systems in many developing countries are weak, fragmented and often focused exclusively on disease-specific programme areas. There is a broad consensus in the literature that strengthening of national HIS is desirable. An integrated HIS will provide the basis for public health professionals to look at the health system from broader more comprehensive points of view.
The routine health information system (RHIS) in Palestine does not store data at the case level but aggregates them at the Facility level only. Additionally, establishment of multiple information databases in different Ministry of Health (MoH) departments causes incompatibility between the different databases and ineffective use of information.
This study examines the availability and the utilisation of information in support of health care organisation and delivery in Palestine which entailed an assessment of the current situation to identify determinants of the RHIS performance.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health at the Ministry, District and Facility levels was the study setting while systems and staff operating at these three levels were the target population. Employing a purposive sampling method a total of 123 respondents participated in the study. Performance of Routine Information System Management (PRISM) framework and its four tools package was used to assess the performance of RHIS at the Palestinian MoH. The PRISM framework empirically tests the relationships among technical, behavioural and organisational determinants on health management information system (HMIS) process and performance.
Data quality is measured in terms of accuracy and completeness at the Facility level. However, at Ministry HMIS and District levels it is measured in terms of timeliness, data accuracy and completeness.
Data quality was good at the Ministry HMIS level. However, data completeness and accuracy at the District level were good while timeliness was immeasurable on the basis of currently adopted procedures. At the Facility level, data completeness and data accuracy were only acceptable. Use of information was poor at all three levels; the Ministry HMIS level, District and Facility. The displaying of updated data on mother‘s health, child health, Facility utilisation, and disease
12 surveillance at both the District level and at the Facility levels were poor. RHIS processes at the Ministry HMIS level were good. However, they were poor at the two levels of District and Facility. Overall, technical and behavioural determinants fared poorly at all three levels while organisational determinants at the Ministry HMIS level were very good for RHIS governance and planning but were poor for supervision, training and finance.
These findings provide evidence on the need to establish a national RHIS the utilisation of which is made legally compulsory for all. Investing heavily and systematically in building relevant staff capacity and technical infrastructure to improve performance is a key conclusion from this project.

Purpose of Review To survey successful COVID–19 interventions of low– and middle–income countries (LMIC) that are transferable to Gaza, Palestine. Recent Findings As the COVID–19 pandemic ravages globally, low– and middle–income countries (LMIC) showed success in education–based intervention approaches. This paper compiled the COVID responses in 7 LMIC: Vietnam, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria. The authors outlined the most successful and effective of these public health strategies, such as outreach through local leadership and the use of social media campaigning. Ineffective public outreach attributed to the shortcomings of some of the countries’ public health responses. This paper identifies the successful techniques of one LMIC and how similar strategies may be applicable in assisting Gaza in curbing COVID–19 infection rates. Summary Gaza, a community under conflict with little resources, must implement proven strategies to improve its healthcare framework and COVID–19 response. Of the 7 LMIC reviewed, 3 are nations actively in conflict: Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria. Assessing their ability to respond to COVID despite unstable infrastructure and low–income status provides an important example of successful health education and community outreach techniques. Based on the education–based and community–oriented best practices discovered, appropriate recommendations are proposed for Gaza’s growth and benefit.

The long-standing Israeli–Palestinian conflict has escalated since the beginning of the 20th century, resulting in a humanitarian crisis in Palestine. It has caused significant psychological and social suffering, particularly children and young people. Firstly, to identify and synthesize the existing knowledge available in peer review articles about the consequences of war-related trauma reactions among young people, and secondly to investigate the mechanisms of resilience in the context of Gaza Strip. The review follows Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework, including a systematic search of eight databases. Relevant studies were assessed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The identified studies used various measurement tools and instruments to assess mental health outcomes, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and resilience. War-related traumatic experiences were common among children. The determinants of traumatic stress that increased the of mental health problems were also identified, including exposure to violence and destruction, loss of family members and friends. Resilience and coping mechanisms have a crucial role in mitigating the negative impact of war-related trauma. The mental health of children and young people in the Gaza Strip is a pressing public health concern, particularly PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Nonetheless, more qualitative research is required to address existing knowledge gaps and improve the available mental health service. This study could provide valuable insights for creating interventions and support services that are culturally tailored.

Worldwide access to medication remains a major public health problem that forces pregnant women to self-medicate with several sources, such as medicinal plants. This alternative medicine is increasing in many low- and high-income countries for several reasons.This a systematic literature review on the prevalence of herbal use during pregnancy from the World Health Organization (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office.Cross-sectional studies were searched from January 2011 to June 2021 on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. We used the Rayyan website to identify the relevant studies by screening the abstracts and titles. These were followed by reading the full texts to identify the final studies to be included. The data were extracted, and the quality of the studies was assessed using the quality appraisal tool.Of the 33 studies included in this review, 19 were conducted in Iran, 5 in Saudi Arabia, 4 in Palestine, 2 in Egypt, and 1 each in Oman, Iraq, and Jordan; the prevalence of herbal medicine use among pregnant women varied from 19.2% to 90.2%. Several plants were mentioned for pain management during the pregnancy period. The findings suggest family and friends are major motivating sources for the use of herbal medicine.The wide variety of herbal products used in this study reflects the traditions and geographic diversity of the region. Despite the importance of literature-based data about the use of herbal medicine, it is necessary to obtain knowledge, attitude, and motivation for herbal consumption among pregnant women.

We stated in the last issue that ‘‘already in the very substance of suffering lies a hope for salvation—or salubrity— since both words stem from their common Latin root: salus’’ [1]. This awareness grew at the very beginning of Christian culture. Jesus of Nazareth became very famous in the countries neighbouring Palestine, mostly as a healer. Even in the Parthenon, in Rome, there will be a place for a portrait of Him. Jesus healed many sick men through miracles which were made as signs of something else: eternal happiness, which started already in the present day. His healing of the body, however, did not lessen the great query for salvation which underlies the need for salubrity, rather it deepened that very call for salvation which the disease itself aroused. In our professional experience we can also witness that even clinical success is in its nature transitory and fails to fully satisfy the demand of the human heart: healing the body is not enough. An episode, here shown through the depiction in the mosaics at the Cathedral of Monreale and taken from the Gospel of Luke, helps us to understand this point. The story goes as follows. Ten lepers met Jesus and asked his pity; ‘‘And when he saw them, he said unto them, ‘Go, show yourselves unto the priests.’ And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed’’. One of them came back (‘‘and he was a Samaritan’’) to Christ ‘‘and with a loud voice glorified God (...) And Jesus answering said,

Context: Infodemic in the COVID-19 pandemic is referred to as too much information about this disease that spreads quickly. This information can cause various psychological consequences for people. This systematic review studied the effect of the infodemic on individuals’ mental health in the COVID-19 pandemic.
 Methods: The principles of PRISMA were used to conduct this systematic review. Data were selected using a search strategy in the WOS, PubMed, and Scopus databases on December 31, 2021. The inclusion criteria comprised English-language original articles relevant to the study’s purpose. We excluded all short articles, letters to the editor, conference abstracts, review articles, and any articles unavailable in their full texts.
 Results: Finally, 17 articles were selected. The results showed that the population of these articles was from China, Singapore, Palestine, Romania, Indonesia, Paraguay, Hong Kong, and Iran. These articles also included health professionals and medical staff (two studies), adults (three studies), citizens and the general public aged 16 or over (eight studies), students (one study), teachers (one study), and the elderly (two studies). The sample sizes varied from 126 to 5,203. Also, these articles examined mental health concerning anxiety (13 studies), depression (eight studies), stress (four studies), sleep disorders (two studies), emotions (two studies), panic, social isolation, and mental health in general.
 Conclusions: People more subjected to COVID-19-related information are more prone to psychological consequences and more exposed to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) tend to be long-term and are caused by genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. Palestine is undergoing an epidemiological transition. It is estimated nearly two out of three elderly Palestinians suffer from NCDs. This study aimed to identify the barriers to practicing physical activity and eating a healthy diet among Palestinian non-communicable disease patients. Methods: This qualitative study was carried out from September 2020 to November 2020 among ten NCDs patients who received care in five governmental primary healthcare centers in the Gaza Strip. A semi-structured interview guide was developed and used to collect data based on the health belief model and the theory of planned behavior. Data analysis was performed using the thematic analysis method. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative research Checklist (COREQ) was used to report the data. Results: The data analysis led to the identification of two main categories, factors affecting the practice of PA, healthy diet, and barriers to adherence to healthy behaviors. The interviewees had a positive attitude towards healthy behaviors. The main barriers to PA practice were lack of accessibility to materials, lack of social support, and a lack of reminders. Also, factors as lack of accessibility to the materials, a lack of social support, and a lack of self-efficacy were the most common barriers to eating a healthy diet. Conclusion: NCD patients understand the importance and benefits of practicing healthy behaviors, but in the absence of basic infrastructure and a supportive community, their awareness may not translate into actions.

This study aims to explore pregnant women's attitudes to COVID-19 vaccination and determinants of vaccine acceptance. We conducted a cross-sectional study among pregnant women attending PHC clinics and hospitals in the West-bank of Palestine. We used an interviewer-administered questionnaire based on Health Belief Model. The study's primary outcome was COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. We used the Chi-square test to compare those who accepted the vaccine versus those who refused it and conducted binary logistic regression to explore independent determinants of vaccination acceptance. Among the 728 pregnant women who took part in the study, 20.7 percent showed positive attitudes (acceptance) toward COVID-19 vaccination. Employment (aOR 4.0; 95 percentCI: 2.2-7.3), a history of COVID-19 (aOR 1.9; 95 percentCI: 1.2-3.1), and having a relative who died from COVID-19 (aOR 2.3; 95 percentCI: 1.2-4.7) increased the likelihood of vaccine acceptance, as did vaccine perceived effectiveness (aOR 1.9; 95 percentCI: 1.2-3.2) and perceived protection from severe disease (aOR 2.0; 95 percentCI: 1.2-3.5). On the other hand, perceived limited access (aOR 0.540; 95 percentCI: 0.31-0.87) and perceived harm to the baby (aOR 0.346; 95 percentCI 0.22-0.54) remained the main barriers toward vaccine acceptance. In conclusion, pregnant women's acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine is unsatisfactory. Concerns about its effect on unborn babies were major barriers to vaccination.

The work of Rita Giacaman and the Institute of Community and Public Health Birzeit UniversityRita Giacaman is Professor of Public Health at the Institute of Community and Public Health at Birzeit University in the West Bank, occupied Palestinian territory. During the 1980s, she participated as a researcher and practitioner in the Palestinian social action movement, which led to the development of the Palestinian primary health care model. During the 1990s, Rita participated in building the Palestinian community based disability rehabilitation network. Since 2000, she has been focusing on understanding the impact of chronic war-like conditions and excessive exposure to violence on the health and wellbeing of Palestinians, with an emphasis on psychosocial health, and ways in which interventions could generate the needed active and positive resilience and resistance to ongoing war-like conditions, especially among youth. Rita Giacaman can be contacted [email protected] interview took place at Berzeit University in Ramallah, Palestine, in May 2014. Interviewers were David Denborough, Cheryl White and Marnie Sather.In this interview, Rita Giacaman, outlines an alternative approach to mental health research that relates to Foucault's (1976) call for an 'insurrection of subjugated knowledges' (p.81). Building on Palestinian experiences of social suffering, and honouring local idioms, the work of the Institute of Community and Public Health at Birzeit University, refuses to separate health from justice.Keywords: health research, humiliation, capacity to endure, Palestine.Would it be appropriate to start by outlining the history of your efforts to develop health research that is meaningful in a Palestinian context?Here in Palestine, our research is trying, and succeeding to some extent, to undo the dominance of Western knowledge on people from the 'developing world'. Our journey with research, and our questioning of the frameworks presented in the West, came in the early 1980s. Living under Israeli military occupation, the conditions were so glaring that in 1981 we began to realise and describe the ways in which health is a social construction. At this time, mainstream health research was overwhelmingly focused on the biomedical. And yet, we began to see very clearly that if we really wanted to improve health outcomes, we would need to do something outside the clinic. We would need to create research that could assist in transforming the daily life and the living conditions of our people. It was because of the Israeli military occupation of Palestinian land that our conceptions of health research had to change.From that time on, we've been on a journey that has involved reading the international literature, arguing with it and asking 'why are they presenting health that way?' Often we would realise that rather than researching health, the field was only researching disease. For instance, when exploring diabetes, the research would focus on hypertension, not any broader social factors. Even when it came to studying Palestinians' exposure to violence, researchers would focus only on the physical aspects of exposure to Israeli political violence and they would start counting, counting, counting, the dead, the injured, and the disabled.At one point we began to say, well the dead are 100 percent dead, what do we do with the living? What research would be relevant to improving the lives of the living? Secondly, we began to say, rather than researching only disease, let's look at health. We know that health and disease are a continuum. People oscillate between health and disease (or ease-disease) every day depending on the insults that we are subjected to. These insults could be a physical, material, psychological. Every day, we oscillate back and forth, back and forth on this continuum of health/disease. If the insults are repetitive then we move to the disease end of the spectrum. …

Street theater is historically a form of political performance art used to foster social change and is characterized by unscheduled performances in public spaces, interactive audience participation, and short performances often repeated in the same spot for passersby. Long used as a creative tool within social movements, street skits not only entertain but are used to educate and build awareness on pressing issues. It is an art form for the people, by the people, making theater available for all (“on the streets”) rather than solely for those who can afford it. Street theater also has its uses in public health education and organizing and has been used globally as an effective method of health promotion, especially in rural and low-literacy areas. This paper looks at a street theater project that university students at Clark University in Worcester, MA participated in as part of a “Health Rights: Advocacy and Action” course. Students were tasked with developing a street theater skit that educates on a public health issue and publicly perform the skit on campus. Three skits were produced: (1) “Deadly Derailment”: raised awareness on industry deregulation and the 2023 toxic chemical spill in East Palestine, OH; (2) “Harm Reduction Saves Lives”: addressed humane and non-victim blaming ways to address substance use; and (3) “End the STIgma”: educated on sexual health on a college campus. Teaching street theater as part of public health pedagogy is a creative approach to inspire students to use their voices and link health promotion and activism.

This paper measures the impact of introducing a 10% co-payment on secondary care hospitalization costs for Palestine refugees living in Lebanon (PRL) in all UNRWA contracted hospitals, except for the Red Crescent Society. This ex-post analysis provides a detailed insight on the direction and magnitude of the policy impact in terms of demand by hospital type, average length of stay and treatment costs.With a complete population episode level dataset, we use multinomial logit, negative binomial, and linear models to estimate impacts on the different dependent variables, controlling for disease, patient and hospital characteristics.After the implementation patients were at least 4 pp (p <0.01) more likely to choose a Red Crescent Society hospital for secondary care, instead of one with co-payment. Average length of stay was not affected in general, despite the increase in control at all UNRWA contracted hospitals. Except for the decrease in UNRWA contribution, did not find a statistically significant impact of the co-payment on costs, nor for the provider or for the patient. Findings suggest that introducing a 10% co-payment for secondary hospital care had an impact on patients' health care budget, leading to demand shifts towards cheaper options - i.e., patients had to chose care based on financial constraints rather than on their treatment preferences.Before changing healthcare payment schemes in different types of hospitals, facilities offering free of charge treatment should be assessed and prepared for potential demand shifts to avoid overcapacity and the collapse of health care services for such a fragile population. In addition, exemptions from co-payments should be considered for patients with severe health conditions and financial constraints, who, according to our results, are the most likely to change their pattern of care due to an increase in treatment costs.

Public health research plays a critical role in strengthening health systems and improving their performance and impact. However, scholarly production in public health coming from the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) remains well below the world average and lacks a tangible growth trend over time. During the seventh Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network Regional Conference, a roundtable session brought together a panel of public health experts representing Global Health Development/Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network affiliates, universities or academia, and research institutions from the region, where they shared insights on the current situation of public health research; challenges and barriers to research facing the different countries in the EMR and the region in general; and how research agendas, productivity, and quality can be supported through strengthening research capacity in the region. Although the region is diverse in terms of health system capacity and socioeconomic development, several common challenges were identified, including a lack of strategic prioritization to guide health research, insufficient funding, ineffective transfer of knowledge to policy and practice, limited availability of research facilities, and limited national and international research collaboration. Occupied countries and countries in a state of conflict, such as Palestine, face additional barriers, such as personal and social security, lack of control of borders and natural resources, travel and movement restrictions, and confidentiality challenges because of the continuing war conditions and occupation. However, there have been success stories in the EMR regarding research publications and their positive and effective impact on policy and decision-makers. To improve research resilience and public health care in the region, a collaborative approach involving institutions, policymakers, and relevant stakeholders is critical.

This study purposed to determine the levels of nursing informatics competency and self-efficacy in clinical practice and influencing factors on self-efficacy among Palestinian nurses in hospitals. A descriptive-correlational design was adopted. The nurses who worked in the North West Bank of Palestine (N = 331) were recruited. The data were collected using the Self-Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies Scale (SANICS) which consists of 30 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1(not competent) to 5 (expert), and scored by calculating the mean as follows: novice/low (1.00-2.59), beginner/moderate (2.60-3.39), and competent/high (3.40-5.00); and the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE) that consists of eight items rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1(strongly disagree) to 5(strongly agree) and scored according to the average of the scale, whereas the average of > 3 indicated high self-efficacy, and ≤ 3 reflected low self-efficacy. The data were collected during the period from September to November 2020. Findings showed that the total mean score for the nursing informatics competency scale was 2.9 (SD = 0.7), which indicated that the nurses had a moderate level of nursing informatics competency. The average score for the self-efficacy scale was 3.5 (SD = 0.8), which reflected that nurses had high self-efficacy. Self-efficacy in clinical practice increased with age and with nursing informatics competency. Thus, it is necessary to enhance nurses' informatics competency by developing continuous educational programs about this technology for nurses and engaging nurses in such programs to enhance their competencies in this system.

<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> Public health research plays a critical role in strengthening health systems and improving their performance and impact. However, scholarly production in public health coming from the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) remains well below the world average and lacks a tangible growth trend over time. During the seventh Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network Regional Conference, a roundtable session brought together a panel of public health experts representing Global Health Development/Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network affiliates, universities or academia, and research institutions from the region, where they shared insights on the current situation of public health research; challenges and barriers to research facing the different countries in the EMR and the region in general; and how research agendas, productivity, and quality can be supported through strengthening research capacity in the region. Although the region is diverse in terms of health system capacity and socioeconomic development, several common challenges were identified, including a lack of strategic prioritization to guide health research, insufficient funding, ineffective transfer of knowledge to policy and practice, limited availability of research facilities, and limited national and international research collaboration. Occupied countries and countries in a state of conflict, such as Palestine, face additional barriers, such as personal and social security, lack of control of borders and natural resources, travel and movement restrictions, and confidentiality challenges because of the continuing war conditions and occupation. However, there have been success stories in the EMR regarding research publications and their positive and effective impact on policy and decision-makers. To improve research resilience and public health care in the region, a collaborative approach involving institutions, policymakers, and relevant stakeholders is critical. </sec>

To compare and contrast oral health related data related to Simplified Oral hygiene index (OHI-S) in Dubai school-aged students as a function of the population demographics gender and ethnicity.A total of 20,880 subjects were screened in 66 public and private school located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The study sample was grouped according to seven geographic regions. The total sample included 9,765 females and 11,115 males. Ages ranged from 9.08 years to 24.4 years with an overall mean age of 14.5 years. Calibrated dentists scored all subjects for Debri, Calculus and Simplified Oral hygiene index (OHI-S). Upon completion, statistical comparison of the study variables by region and gender was applied.Debri, calculus and OHI-S scores were calculated by Middle East and South Asia regions represented by countries with more than 100 subjects per country. OHI-S and debri scores were significantly higher in Middle East (0.90 and 0.78) subjects than South Asia (0.84 and 0.68, p=0.000). In contrast, Calculus score was higher in South Asia subjects compared to Middle East.• Middle East subjects averaged significantly higher debri and OHI-S scores when compared to South Asia subjects overall. • The highest debri score average was found in Middle East male (Egypt) and female (Palestine) subjects. • The highest calculus score average was found in South Asia male and female (both Bangladesh) subjects. • The highest OHI-S score average was found in South Asia male (Bangladesh) and female (Pakistan) subjects. Debri and OHI-S scores were lowest for Middle East female Iran subjects.

DEAR EDITOR,
About 27 countries, mainly Arabic speaking, of different World Health Organization (WHO) regional offices in East Mediterranean Region poses a threat to World Polio Eradication Initiatives due to re-emergence of wild polio virus (WPV) as evidenced in these countries. The different WHO regions are European Regional Office (EURO), East Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) and African Regional Office (AFRO). The WHO European Office countries are free from polio disease and further certified that WPV circulation is interrupted in the year 2002. Nigeria is the only country from WHO Africa Office where polio is still endemic.[1] The Afghanistan and Pakistan are the other two endemic countries in Eastern Mediterranean area of WHO office where the circulation of WPV is still not interrupted. Somalia and Yemen have recently reported outbreak of cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) due to WPV type 1 indicating WPV circulation in the area.[2] The environmental surveillance in the form of sewer collections from Israel, Palestine and Egypt have demonstrated the presence of the WPV isolates in the samples collected in 2012-2013. However, no polio cases are reported from these countries. These strains of WPV1 are linked not with each other but as well as to those already circulating in Pakistan.[3] This explains a potential threat to India and other countries as well viewing the neighboring border with Pakistan. Anticipating the possibility of poliomyelitis epidemic Israel and Egypt carried out a planned supplementary immunization activities (SIA) campaigns with bivalent and trivalent oral polio vaccine (OPV) to children below 10 years of age. This is because Israel replaced the OPV with inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in routine vaccination schedule. This IPV coverage is very high. There are concerns that the Inactivated Polio Vaccinated subjects might carry the WPV without development of the disease in comparison to OPV vaccinated subjects who are at low risk of carrying and shedding the virus.[3]
The worst scenario has appeared now. 22 new cases of AFP have been identified in war affected country, Syria, just few months ago. The epidemic was reported 250 km away from capital Damascus. WPV1 has been found in stools of 10 AFP cases alarming the country to take immediate actions.[4,5] A large scale planned SIA was carried out on 26th October 2013 in Syria to vaccinate 1.6 million children with OPV as well as against other diseases.[5]
There were concerns about the quality of AFP, environmental and enterovirus surveillance in Europe at WHO-EURO Polio Regional Eradication Committee meeting in May 2013. However, WHO is of the opinion that the risk of transmission of importing the WPV leading to polio epidemics into Europe is comparatively low.[6]
The re-emergence of WPV in Eastern Mediterranean countries with outbreaks in Syria and environmental circulation in Israel, Egypt and Palestine is of grave concerns. It may be explained partly by the low immunization coverage in Syria due to war, collapsing health system and population displacement in large numbers since 2010.[5] The potential risk of polio re-emergence in Syria was reported by both Global Polio Eradication Initiative and WHO EMRO. This require immediate actions to prevent further spread.[7] WHO is of the opinion that there is a high risk of WPV1 transmission from Syria to other countries in the region as well international spread. This may be a setback to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. A coordinated action by these countries by organizing OPV campaigns from October 2013 to April 2014 might helped to stop the outbreak. An urgent action for reinforcement of the AFP, environmental and enterovirus surveillance is required as advised by the WHO to prevent the spread of WPV1 internationally.

My earliest memories of my father, Noah Lucas (1927–2008), seat him perpetually at a typewriter, pipe in mouth, radio on; and hanging behind him on the wall, a framed picture of the enchanting Chagall stained glass windows—a dove carrying an olive branch of peace. Health and health care in Israel: an introductionStarting well before Independence in 1948, and over the ensuing six decades, Israel has built a robust, relatively efficient public system of health care, resulting in good health statistics throughout the life course. Because of the initiative of people living under the British Mandate for Palestine (1922–48), the development of many of today's health services predated the state's establishment by several decades. An extensive array of high-quality services and technologies is available to all residents, largely free at point of service, via the promulgation of the 1994 National Health Insurance Law. Full-Text PDF Maternal and child health in Israel: building livesIsrael is home to a child-oriented society that values strong family ties, universal child benefits, and free education for all children from 3 years of age to school grade 12. Alongside the universal health-care services that are guaranteed by the National Health Insurance Law and strong, community-based primary and preventive care services, these values have resulted in good maternal and child health. In 2015, infant and maternal mortality (3·1 deaths per 1000 livebirths and 2·0 deaths per 100 000 livebirths, respectively) were lower than the mean infant and maternal mortality of countries within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Full-Text PDF Inequalities in non-communicable diseases between the major population groups in Israel: achievements and challengesIsrael is a high-income country with an advanced health system and universal health-care insurance. Overall, the health status has improved steadily over recent decades. We examined differences in morbidity, mortality, and risk factors for selected non-communicable diseases (NCDs) between subpopulation groups. Between 1975 and 2014, life expectancy in Israel steadily increased and is currently above the average life expectancy for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. Full-Text PDF Coming of age: health-care challenges of an ageing population in IsraelAlthough Israel is still young in years, with relatively high birth rates and older people (individuals aged 65 years or older) constituting only about 11% of its population, the absolute number of older people is growing rapidly. Life expectancy is high, and increasing numbers of people are living to advanced old age (older than 85 years). A wide spectrum of geriatric care is provided within a universal system providing health services to all citizens. Community and institutional care is available, and many innovative programmes are being developed. Full-Text PDF Israel: health and beyondThe principle that global human identity and dignity supersede other values is a broadly accepted conviction that guides practice and policies in the realm of human health in most of the world. An assessment of the level of success that Israel has achieved in health, in the face of formidable challenges, including rapid population growth, diverse and often divided ethnic affiliations, and existential security threats, leads us to propose that extension of this principle of global human identity and dignity, together with the objective of a decent society, as overriding values beyond health to other domains of human endeavour within Israel and in its relations with neighbouring peoples, represents an entirely achievable imperative. Full-Text PDF Israel: a start-up life science nationAdvances in biomedicine are the product of a combination of research, technological progress, and innovation. The environment needed to promote such progress includes strong academic education and research, vibrant health and hospital systems, an entrepreneurial culture, and the appropriate industrial infrastructure. Senor and Singer1 provide a detailed analysis of the reasons for the surge of technology-based companies in Israel—what they call a start-up nation. In this Viewpoint, we examine the development of Israeli life science research and associated industry and analyse the reasons Israel has become a life science start-up nation. Full-Text PDF The medical education system in IsraelDuring the British administration of the Palestine Mandate, before the foundation of Israel in 1948, the Jewish community built hospitals, developed a network of clinics, and established a fairly extensive coverage of health care.1 Yet not until 1949 was the first medical school founded at the Jerusalem-based Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Although much of the funding came from the Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, most of the teaching staff were, at first, refugees who had received their medical training in Germany before migrating to Palestine. Full-Text PDF Women and health in IsraelWHO defines health as “a complete state of physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.1 This broad definition includes physical and mental health, but also socioeconomic standing and access to resources such as health care and safety. In this Viewpoint, we present a holistic picture of women's health within the Israeli societal and cultural context, taking these factors into account. Full-Text PDF Helping hands across a war-torn border: the Israeli medical effort treating casualties of the Syrian Civil WarThe provision of medical care to anyone in need is one of the ethical obligations of all medical professionals, and is also one of the foundations underlying humanitarian undertakings. In this context we describe the efforts made to help refugees from a civil war in one of Israel's neighbouring countries. Full-Text PDF Medical ethics in Israel—bridging religious and secular valuesPeter Berger, a sociologist of religion, once stated that “the theme of individual autonomy is perhaps the most important theme in the worldview of modernity”.1 Although modern bioethics was relatively late in accepting the value of personal autonomy in medical decision making, this autonomy is now universally recognised as the core value of western medical ethics. Principilism, as proposed by Beauchamp and Childress,2 lists autonomy along with beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice as the four cardinal principles of bioethics. Full-Text PDF

Abstract Background Globally, the increased use of cesarean sections has become prevalent in high-income and low and middle-income countries. In Palestine, the rate had risen from 20.3% in 2014 to 25.1% in 2018. The difference is that we have rates as high as 35.8 % in some public hospitals and some as low as 15%. This study aimed to understand better why there is a variation in cesarean rates in public hospitals that use the same protocol. Methods A qualitative approach was used. In-depth interviews with 27 specialists, obstetrics and gynecologists, and midwives in five government hospitals were performed. The hospitals were selected based on the 2017 Annual Health Report reported cesarean section rates. The interview guide was created with the support of specialists and researchers and was piloted. Questions focused mainly on adherence to the obstetric guidelines and barriers to the use, sources of information, training for healthcare providers, the hospital system, and the factors that affect decision making. Results The results indicated that each public hospital at the system level had a different policy on cesarean sections. One specialist decided for a cesarean section at high-rate hospitals, while low-rate hospitals used collective decision-making with empowered midwives. At the professional level, all hospitals urged for the importance of a continuous training program to refresh the medical team knowledge, in-house training of new members joining the hospital, and to discuss cases that are subjective to obstetrician-gynecologists interpretations. Conclusion We recommend strengthening the implementation of support for staff to meet the standards in the national obstetric protocol. Encourage collective decision-making between obstetrician-gynecologists and midwives and use a second opinion. The Robson classification implementation in hospitals will allow medical teams to evaluate delivery management processes and provide a standardized method for reporting and comparison between hospitals, regions, and countries.

The Lebanese healthcare system faces multiple challenges including limited capacities, shortage of skilled professionals, and inadequate supplies, in addition to hosting a significant number of refugees. While subsidized services are available for pregnant women, representing the majority of the refugee population in Lebanon, suboptimal access to antenatal care (ANC) and increased maternal mortality rates are still observed, especially among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. This study aimed to review the maternal health outcomes of disadvantaged Lebanese and refugee pregnant women seeking ANC services at primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in Lebanon.A retrospective chart review was conducted at twenty PHCs in Lebanon, including Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) and United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) facilities. Data was collected from medical charts of pregnant women who visited the centers between August 2018 and August 2020. Statistical analysis was performed to explore outcomes such as the number of ANC visits, delivery type, and onset of delivery, using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models.In the study, 3977 medical charts were analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis, revealed that suboptimal ANC visits were more common in the Beqaa region and among women with current abortion or C-section. Syrians had reduced odds of C-sections, and Beqaa, Mount Lebanon, and South Lebanon regions had reduced odds of abortion. Suboptimal ANC visits and history of C-section increased the odds of C-section and abortion in the current pregnancy. As for preterm onset, the study showed an increased likelihood for it to occur when being Palestinian, having current C-section delivery, experiencing previous preterm onset, and enduring complications at the time of delivery.This study suggests the need for low-cost interventions aiming at enhancing access to ANC services, especially among pregnant women in fragile settings.

Abstract Background Due to a high burden of health challenges among immigrants in Norway, and the documented health benefits of interaction with nature, Norwegian authorities have prioritized the promotion of outdoor recreation among immigrants. Success in this part of public health work presupposes knowledge about factors influencing immigrants` use of nature, which to date is scarce. The present study explores these conditions in a group of immigrant women in Norway. Methods We performed individual interviews with 14 first generation immigrant women aged 27-70 years from Iran (2), Poland (2), Palestine, Afghanistan, Congo, Kenya, Thailand, Russia, Portugal, Latvia, Colombia and Bulgaria. Data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Results Multiple and interrelated factors at the individual, relational, cultural/religious, and structural level influenced the interviewees` use of nature. Individual-level conditions included the interviewees` attitudes towards nature and their perceived control over making use of nature. Previous experiences with nature and role model influences shaped attitudes, and knowledge about outdoor life opportunities and appropriate clothing/equipment, and perceived security shaped perceived control. A major relational level barrier was the lack of access to companions for nature outings. A barrier at the cultural/religious level included the discomfort of wearing hijab/all-covering dresses in nature. Main structural level premises for use of nature included available time and economy and access to natural sites. Conclusions This study highlights multiple conditions influencing immigrant women in Norway`s use of nature. Public health actors should be aware of and take into account this knowledge. Key messages Factors influencing immigrant women in Norway`s use of nature are to be found at different levels of influence. Strategies for increasing immigrants` use of nature should be based on existing knowledge about influencing factors.

The state of emergency is considered a serious and threatening situation that threatens public order in the whole country or part of it due to internal or external war, natural disasters or the spread of a pandemic, and in this study, we will specialize in researching the declared state of emergency in both Palestine and China in light of the Corona pandemic, Whereas, of course, the idea of the emergency law stems from the theories in constitutional law and the fact that many countries treat the state of emergency as a constitutional right granted to the executive in the form of a fortified constitutional decision.To declare a state of emergency, there are some important conditions. It is not permissible to declare a state of emergency without the availability of one of them, which involves the presence of a threat to the public order, The measures taken must be commensurate with the size of the risk, provided that the decree declaring the state of emergency includes the temporal and spatial scale, otherwise the decree is not considered void.The Palestinian legal system was distinguished by a precise definition of the steps to take the state of emergency with the support of the Palestinian Public Health Law and the supporting laws necessary to deal with epidemics, while the Chinese law was characterized by the existence of provisions in the constitutional law as well, but they were broad terms that needed more specificity regard to the competent authorities to extend The state of emergency and the percentage required to pass the decision to extend the state of emergency and other things were indicated in the study.This study also dealt with talk about the field effects on the executive authority, the legislature, and the judiciary in the event of an emergency, as this study examined the legal nature of the emergency law how to deal with both the Palestinian and Chinese legal systems and the extent to which the emergency law can be abolished if it is found not necessary.

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to measure the impact of the Ajyal Salima school intervention on nutrition and physical activity outcomes in children aged 9–11 years. Design: The study was a 1-year cluster-randomised controlled trial. Ajyal Salima used a multi-component approach including classroom activities, family programme and food service adaptation. Outcomes included daily intake of breakfast, frequency of healthy and unhealthy food consumption, frequency of physical activity, knowledge score and self-efficacy score. Intervention and control groups were compared for all main outcomes and a post-intervention qualitative evaluation assessed strengths and limitations of the intervention components. Setting: Schools in five countries – Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Participants: Schools were selected by Ministries of Health and Education within their jurisdictions. Forty-five intervention schools (6052 students) and forty-six control schools (6200 students) were included in the analysis. Results: The intervention group had a significantly higher odds of consuming breakfast daily (OR 95 % CI = 1·60, 1·35, 1·90), consuming healthy foods (OR 95 % CI = 1·60, 1·39, 1·84) and a decreased odds of consuming unhealthy foods and sweetened beverages (OR, 95 % CI = 0·70, 0·60, 0·81). Additionally, school children in the intervention group, as compared with the control group, were 47 % more likely to exercise outside school hours (OR 95 % CI = 1·47, 1·23, 1·76). Lastly, children in the intervention group had a significantly improved nutritional knowledge score and improved self-efficacy by 1·3 score unit and 1·1 score unit, respectively. Conclusions: The Ajyal Salima intervention led to significant improvements in dietary and physical activity habits among school children and increased nutritional knowledge scores.

Abstract Background and aims: The Lebanese healthcare system faces multiple challenges including limited capacities, shortage of skilled professionals, and inadequate supplies, in addition to hosting a significant number of refugees. While subsidized services are available for pregnant women, representing the majority of the refugee population in Lebanon, suboptimal access to antenatal care (ANC) and increased maternal mortality rates are still observed, especially among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. This study aimed to review the maternal health outcomes of disadvantaged Lebanese and refugee pregnant women seeking antenatal care services at primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in Lebanon. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted at twenty PHCs in Lebanon, including Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) and United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) facilities. Data was collected from medical charts of pregnant women who visited the centers between August 2018 and August 2020. Statistical analysis was performed to explore outcomes such as the number of ANC visits, delivery type, and onset of delivery, using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models. Results In the study, 3977 medical charts were analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis, revealed that suboptimal ANC visits were more common in the Beqaa region and among women with current abortion or C-section. Syrians had reduced odds of C-sections, and Beqaa, Mount Lebanon, and South Lebanon regions had reduced odds of abortion. Suboptimal ANC visits and history of C-section increased the odds of C-section and abortion in the current pregnancy. As for preterm onset, the study showed an increased likelihood for it to occur when being Palestinian, having current C-section delivery, experiencing previous preterm onset, and enduring complications at the time of delivery. Conclusion This study suggests the need for low-cost interventions aiming at enhancing access to ANC services, especially among pregnant women in fragile settings.

Purpose This study aims to explore the effect of mental health in terms of depression, anxiety, stress, fear of COVID-19 and quality of life (QoL) on the reluctance to be vaccinated in a population of Palestinian adults living in occupied Palestinian territories and Israel. Design/methodology/approach The authors recruited 1,122 Palestinian adults who consented to participate in the study; 722 were females, and the mean age of the sample was 40.83 (SD 8.8). Depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS), World Health Organization QoL-BREF, FCov-19 and reluctance to the vaccine scale were administered; hierarchical regression analysis was applied to test vaccine reluctance as a dependent variable, and mental health, fear of COVID-19 and QoL as independent variables. This study hypothesized influence of such variables on the vaccine choice with differences due to the participants’ geographical locations. Findings Findings showed an effect of mental health, particularly depression, QoL and fear of COVID on vaccine reluctance, with depression and fear of COVID in the West Bank and Gaza, while in Israel, QoL played a role in vaccination choices. Research limitations/implications The future needs to be comprehended more thoroughly to discover mutations and fluctuations over time in vaccine hesitancy and the increasing role of psychological distress, diminished QoL and fear of Covid-19. Online recruitment might not have allowed the study to include the most disadvantaged strips of the Palestinian population. Practical implications Human rights perspectives must be considered in public health and public mental health policies to ensure the QoL and well-being for the Palestinian population during and following the pandemic. Social implications The crumbling of the Palestinian health-care system exacerbated the sense of dread among the population and made them less likely to vaccinate. The pandemic-like spread of Covid-19 prompts a plea for the global community to actively advocate for the urgent re-establishment of equity, autonomy and durability of the medical infrastructure in the occupied territories and equal entitlements for the Palestinians in Israel. Originality/value The results demonstrated the importance for public mental health to consider the multiple levels implied in the vaccine refusal in Palestine and Israel among the Palestinian population.

BackgroundWellbeing is influenced by several factors, including living conditions. In Palestine, area C communities are under administrative and security control and comprise about 60% of the West Bank. UN reports indicate that area C populations are considered most susceptible to expulsion (displacement from home and from land cultivated for livelihood) and sustenance interruption. This study aims to assess the relation between wellbeing in an area C community and associated factors.MethodsWe did a cross sectional survey with a systematic random sample of 426 adults representing half the households in this community, with a high response rate (96·9%). A questionnaire was designed following focus group discussions to highlight the particular context of the community, and included security and distress questions developed by the Institute of Community and Public Health (ICPH) and published internationally, and the WHO-5 wellbeing index with 50 as the cutoff point. Descriptive statistics followed by multivariate binary logistic regression to test for confounders were performed with SPSS 17. Ethics approval was obtained from ICPH's Research Ethics Committee.Findings413 people were included: 200 men (48·4%) and 213 women (51·6%). 171 people (41·4%) reported moderate and high levels of wellbeing. There were no differences by sex and age. Lower wellbeing was associated with the presence of one or more older people at home compared with having no older people at home (odds ratio 0·467, 95% CI 0·221–0·987, p=0·046) and with having a crowded home (more than three members at home) compared with lower crowding (0·225, 0·084–0·603, p=0·003).InterpretationOur findings suggest that lowered wellbeing is present among families with higher crowding and with older people at home, and might be linked with poverty nd the need for high levels of care, high dependency, and low socioeconomic status). Crowding at home might be linked to the special conditions found in area C, where building permits are difficult to obtain. Further studies addressing life conditions in area C are recommended to investigate the effects of these factors on wellbeing.FundingNone.

Abstract Background Targeted client communication (TCC) using text messages can inform, motivate and remind pregnant and postpartum women of timely utilization of care. The mixed results of the effectiveness of TCC interventions points to the importance of theory based co-design with users. Our aim is to describe the planning, development, and evaluation of a theory based TCC intervention, tailored to pregnant and postpartum women, and automated from an electronic maternal and child health registry in Palestine. Methods We used the Health Belief Model to develop interview guides to explore women’s perceptions of antenatal care (ANC), with a focus on high-risk pregnancy conditions (anemia, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus, and fetal growth restriction) and timely ANC attendance, issues predefined by a national expert panel as being of high interest. We performed 18 in-depth interviews with women and eight with healthcare providers in public primary healthcare clinics in the West Bank and Gaza. Following the results from the Health Belief Model, we used concepts from the Model of Actionable Feedback, social nudging and Enhanced Active Choice to compose the TCC content to be sent via SMS. We assessed the acceptability and understandability of the draft text messages through unstructured interviews with local health promotion experts, healthcare providers, and pregnant women. Results We found low awareness of the importance of timeliness in attending ANC and the benefits of ANC for pregnancy outcomes. We identified knowledge gaps and beliefs in the domains of low awareness of susceptibility to, and severity of, such complications in pregnancy. We composed actionable text messages following recommended message framing models and iteratively improved the contents with users to bridge the identified gaps. We developed algorithms to trigger tailored text messages with higher intensity for women with a higher risk profile. Conclusions: We developed an optimized text message based TCC intervention underpinned by behavior change theories and co-designed with users following an iterative process. The effectiveness of the TCC intervention is assessed in a cluster-randomized trial (ISRCTN10520687).

H YGIENE AND HEALTH practices have always been stressed in Jewish society. Even before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people in Palestine organized their own health care services to take care of the needs of children and families. With the declaration of the state, there was mass immigration of Jews from all over the world, who by the Law of Return were allowed to enter Israel, regardless of age or health status. As a result of this immigration, many diseases that had been almost eliminated and many new diseases that were previously unknown in the country surfaced. The medical and health-related professions were completely unprepared and unequipped to cope with the large number of immigrants. Approximately 80% of all deaths among the Jewish population in the first few years occurred in infants and children and the infant mortality rate rose to 157:1,000 live births. Despite the many problems, maternal and child health clinics were established throughout the country and programs were implemented to prevent and treat diseases. Within 10 years the public health nurses had helped reduce the infant mortality rate to 41:8:1,000 live births. (Blecher, 1956). This continuous improvement has resulted in high standards of health services today, especially in the area of preventive care. Today the maternal and child health services focus more on preventive care rather than treating infectious diseases. Medical and paramedical services are available to all Israeli citizens and 92% to 93% of the population is covered by the different available medical insurance programs. The two major health service sys-

Abstract Background Brucellosis in Palestine continues to be a significant public health problem due to its impact on the human health, as a result of the high prevalence level of infection in livestock especially in sheep and goats. The purpose of this research was to investigate the epidemiology of human brucellosis in the West Bank over the past 20 years with a focus on recent trends in disease incidence from 2010 through 2020. Methods We conducted a long-term descriptive epidemiological study based on the Palestinian Ministry of Health records on human brucellosis from 2000-2020. Results The total number of cases reported in this period was 7935 patients and the average annual incidence rate (AAIR) was 9.4 cases/10 5 population. Hebron was the most endemic among all studied governorates.The AAIR ranged from 17.9 in 2000 to 15.7 cases/10 5 population in 2020. The AAIR markedly decreased from 17.9 in 2000, to 2.9 cases/ 10 5 populations in 2012. A dramatic increase in human cases started from 2013 onwards to mark a peak in 2016. Higher incidence was reported in male (57.1%) and among the age group 11-20 years (29%). A higher number of cases was reported during April, May and June with the highest peak recorded in May, and subsequently exhibiting a gradual decline during autumn and winter. 2850 (62.7%) patients reported contact with animals which included 1783 (62.6%) patients who had contact with sheep, 819 (28.7%) with goats, and 248 (8.7%) with cattle.Moreover, (37.2%) of the patients reported raw milk consumption and (80.9%) reported white cheese consumption. Approximately (30%) had at least one infected household member. Diagnosis was based on the clinical picture and confirmed by laboratory tests. Patients were treated with a combination of Streptomycin and Tetracycline, or Tetracycline and Rifampicin. Conclusions The incidence of human brucellosis in the West Bank has markedly increased in recent years. This dramatic increase is linked to the impaired control and surveillance of the disease. Mass vaccination, regular screenings of animals for brucellosis, continuous outreach campaigns on raising public health awareness, monitoring milk and homemade dairy products pose some recommended precautionary measures of coping with the epidemic.

Background: By 2045, the number of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) was expected to increase from 424.9 million in 2017. Healthcare professionals have had a difficult time managing diabetes because of nonadherence to therapy. Additionally, the efforts made to clarify and enhance patient adherence to their medication are not always successful. This study investigated the factors such as high knowledge on diabetes type 2 and strong belief in medicine that lead to medication non-adherence in adults. Subjects and Method: This article was a systematic review and meta-analysis study conducted by searching for articles from online databases such as EBSCO, ProQuest, and PubMed. Populations: adults with diabetes mellitus; Intervention: a strong belief in anti-diabetic medication and high knowledge of diabetes mellitus; Comparison: a weak belief or none in anti-diabetic medication and little knowledge of diabetes mellitus; Outcome: non-adherence of anti-diabetic medication. The independen variables is strong belief and high knowledge, the dependen variable is non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication. The inclusion criteria for this study were full articles using a cross-sectional study, with the publication year until 2022. We conduct the analysis using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 6 articles reviewed in the meta-analysis (consisted 4 articles in each variables), from countries: Ethiopia, Australia, Uganda, Iran, Palestine and China, showed that respondents with strong belief in anti-diabetic medicines (aOR= 0.66; 95% CI= 0.48 to 0.90; p= 0.008) and high knowledge of diabetes mellitus (aOR= 0.85; 95% CI= 0.79 to 0.93; p= 0.0005) had lower level of non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication. Conclusion: A strong belief in anti-diabetic medicines and high knowledge of diabetes mellitus can lower non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication.

Ewert H. Cousins, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at Fordham University, and internationally renowned theologian, died in his home on Saturday, May 30, at age 82 after enduring 2 years of difficult health challenges. Dr. Cousins served as the Director of Fordham' s Spirituality Program. As the chief editorial consultant for the innovative 107 volume Paulist Press series, The Classics of Western Spirituality, he forged new ground in inspiring interreligious dialogue. This seminal opus brought together the best scholarship in the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions and created the impetus for numerous worldwide interreligious conferences, bringing members of different faiths together in dialogue. Dr. Cousins was the General Editor of the 25-volume series, World Spirituality: An Encyclopedic History of the Religious Quest (Crossroads). He authored the provocative and prophetic text, Christ of the 21st Century and Bonaventure and the Coincidence of Opposites. His other publications include Process theology: Basic Writings, Bonaventure: The Soul's Journey into God, the Tree of Life, the Life of Saint Francis; Global Spirituality Toward the Meeting of Mystical Paths, and Hope and the Future of Man. Cousins had a profound ability to integrate the wisdom of religion, spirituality, theology, philosophy, depth psychology, and literature. His vast and synthetic mind could easily encompass the nature of the psyche, according to Carl Jung, a psychological perspective that he found most harmonious in relation to some of the most critical and reflective insights of religion and theology. The Journal of Religion and Health: Psychology, Spirituality, and Medicine was most honored to have him serve on our Editorial Advisory Board for nearly 10 years. Cousins was born and raised in New Orleans, joined the Society of Jesus at age 1 8, and entered seminary studies at Grand Coteau, LA. In his early Jesuit years, he worked on the Rosebud Reservation where he found himself deeply drawn to the vibrancy and depth of Native American spirituality. This experience ignited a yearning to explore the religious experience of a diversity of cultural traditions, including a 1-year study of Islam at the Tantur Ecumenical Institute in Bethlehem, Palestine, and many trips to India to study

Background: After the Gaza war ceasefire, WHO indicated outbreaks as one of the highest public health risks in the post-conflict phase. UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in collaboration with WHO set up an early warning (EWAR) system for epidemic prone infectious diseases. Methods: After four and half months of activity, the system was evaluated.The EWAR relies on weekly notification of 9 syndromes from 17 PHC facilities, data is analysed in Gaza City, used to trigger outbreak investigations and transmitted as a bulletin to health stakeholders. Results: Between 01 January to 16 April 2009, a total of 11 alerts were flagged, two cases of meningococcal meningitis identified and alarm thresholds breached for hepatitis and watery diarrhoea. No outbreaks were confirmed. The UNRWA EWAR is a simple system built on the Agency's existing surveillance network, did not require additional investment or massive training for implementation. The first output from the system was available less than one month after cessation of hostilities. The system includes all routine surveillance data, but due to the lack of outbreaks, it was not possible to measure the sensitivity (SE). The positivepredictive-value for outbreaks of seasonal diseases was low. Over the past years, UNRWA recorded a reporting incidence increase of seasonal diseases due to over-reporting. Thresholds using historical data were set with alarm thresholds at 3 standard deviations but they still proved to be too sensitive. Acceptability and timeliness were very high, 100% of reporting units submitted every week. It was not possible to evaluate flexibility in adapting to changes in epidemiology, however adaptation of thresholds to data quality showed flexibility in methodology. Representativeness was over 80% for the refugee community who account for over 70% of the entire Gaza Strip population. Conclusion: The UNRWA EWAR system is still the only source of epidemiological information in Gaza Strip and was used regularly by WHO to monitor outbreaks in the area. It was a very useful instrument in the wake of a humanitarian crisis for monitoring the health of the affected population and proved feasible to implement even during a complex emergency.

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus type 2 is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), with a prevalence of 12·5% in adults aged 25–64 years in 2010–11. Studies of the management and control of diabetes mellitus in the oPt are lacking. The association between diabetes self-care, provider recommendations, and glycaemic control was investigated in a sample of adults with diabetes mellitus type 2 in Ramallah, West Bank, oPt.MethodsA sample of 517 individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 (166 men and 351 women who were not pregnant) was selected from 11 diabetes clinics owned by the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH; n=5), UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (n=4), and jointly by non-governmental organisations and MoH (n=2). The number of individuals selected from each clinic was proportional to the number of patients being treated for diabetes at the clinic. Patients were identified from the clinics' databases; 62 (11%) of 579 refused to participate. All participants provided verbal informed consent. The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities questionnaire was used to assess self-care behaviour and providers' recommendations. The glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test was done to assess glycaemic control. Data were gathered during March to June, 2012, and analysed with SPSS (version 18.0). Logistic regression analysis was used to ascertain factors associated with poor glycaemic control. Approval to undertake the study was obtained from the Institute of Community and Public Health, Birzeit University, Ramallah, West Bank, oPt.FindingsThe mean HbA1c was 8·8% (73 mmol/mol [SD 2·0 and 2, respectively]). One in five patients had glycaemic control (HbA1c <7%). 303 (59%) of 517 participants did not have a healthy eating plan, 276 (53%) of 516 did not exercise, 307 (59%) of 516 did not check their blood sugar level, 86 (17%) of 517 were not given nutritional advice, 127 (25%) of 517 were not given advice about exercise, and 341 (66%) had not been advised to check their blood sugar regularly. Results of the logistic regression analysis showed that demographics, socioeconomic status, self-care, and providers' recommendations for self-care were not associated with poor glycaemic control. The only significant finding was a negative association between poor glycaemic control and duration of diabetes (p<0·001).InterpretationThe results of this study show that although patients in the West Bank are provided medication, health education and monitoring are insufficient and support is non-existent—these would help patients to control their diabetes mellitus. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.FundingSwedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), and Epidemiology and Global Health, Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden.

The annual report for the year 1951 by the World Health Organization's Director-General (Chisholm) to the World Health Assembly and the United Nations stated that — while there had been neither any spectacular advances toward the goals of WHO, nor any disquieting setbacks — the year had been characterized by “the gradual but unmistakable development of a ‘world health consciousness’ and by a broadening of the general concept of the right to health”. Among the more important trends in world health, the report noted: 1) the increasing awareness of the importance of health in industrial, agricultural, and general social and economic advancement; 2) the growing emphasis on the education and training of medical personnel and increasing governmental recognition of the importance of WHO's health units and health demonstration areas; 3) the evidence of growing international cooperation in health matters; 4) the continuation, with WHO's help and guidance, of long-term governmental public-health programs and of the important campaigns to educate the masses of the people on questions of public and private health, in order to gain the enthusiastic support without which no amount of national or international planning or action could hope to be successful; and 5) the continuation of efforts toward the mass control of diseases such as yaws, non-venereal infantile syphilis, malaria, tuberculosis, and typhoid. The report also directed attention to WHO's work during 1951 in birth control, particularly through the Regional Committee for South-East Asia; the European influenza epidemic; the direction of health work among the Palestine refugees and the civilian populations in Korea; and the completion of the drafting of the International Sanitary Regulations and their adoption by the fourth World Health Assembly.

This study dealt with the crimes resulting from the illegal use of pesticides in Palestine. The Palestinian legislator regulated the use of pesticides in the agricultural sector through several legislations, most notably the Agriculture Law and the Consumer Protection Law, in addition to the Public Health Law and the regulations issued by the Council of Ministers. The legal procedures related to the manufacture and registration of pesticides, as well as the controls of their use, and the penalties for violating these legal provisions, especially in the case of the circulation of food contaminated with pesticides resulting from the illegal use of this pesticide , Such legislation has been keen to take many preventive measures to reduce the risk of these pesticides on human health and the environment so that the provider is committed to the consumer shows how to use pesticides clearly. The Palestinian legislator banned the importation of any pesticides unless they were licensed for use in agriculture in developed countries such as the United States and the World Health Organization. The crime of violating the conditions related to the use of pesticides is one of the forms of crimes resulting from the illegal use of pesticides, in addition to the crimes that result from harm to consumers as a result of the use of pesticides. In addition, the legislator has enacted a number of regulations for the manufacture and circulation of pesticides for the public health and safety of the environment. This legislation has criminalized many acts related to the misuse of pesticides, which may harm the health and safety of consumers. And not commensurate with the magnitude of the damage that these pesticides may cause as a result of illegal use. تناولت هذه الدراسة الجرائم الناتجة عن الاستخدام الغير مشروع للمبيدات الحشرية في فلسطين حيث نظم المشرع الفلسطيني استخدام المبيدات الحشرية في قطاع الزراعة من خلال عدة تشريعات، أبرزها قانون الزراعة وقانون حماية المستهلك، بالاضافة الى قانون الصحة العامة والانظمة الصادرة عن مجلس الوزراء، حيث نظمت هذه التشريعات الاجراءات القانونية المتعلقة بتصنيع وتسجيل المبيدات، بالاضافة الى ضوابط استخدامها، كما حددت العقوبات التي تنتج عن مخالفة هذه النصوص القانونية، وخصوصا في حالة تداول أغذية ملوثة بمبيدات حشرية ناتجة عن الاستخدام الغير مشروع لهذه المبيدات، وقد حرصت هذه التشريعات على اتخاذ العديد من الاجراءات الوقائية للحد من مخاطر هذه المبيدات على صحة الانسان والبيئة بحيث الزمت المزود أن يبين للمستهلك طريقة استخدام المبيدات الحشرية بشكل واضح. وقد حظر المشرع الفلسطيني إستيراد أية مبيدات حشرية إلا إذا كانت حاصلة على تراخيص للاستخدام في الزراعة في الدول المتقدمة في هذا المجال مثل الولايات المتحدة الأميركية ومنظمة الصحة العالمية. هذا وتعد جريمة مخالفة الشروط المتعلقة باستخدام المبيدات الحشرية احدى صور الجرائم الناتجة عن الاستخدام غير المشروع للمبيدات الحشرية إضافة الى أن هناك جرائم ناتجة عن الحاق الضرر بالمستهلكين نتيجة استخدام المبيدات الحشرية. كما وضع المشرع الفلسطيني في التشريعات السابقة مجموعة من الضوابط لتصنيع وتداول المبيدات الحشرية حرصا على الصحة العامة وسلامة البيئة، وقد جرمت هذه التشريعات، العديد من الأفعال المتعلقة بسوء استخدام المبيدات الحشرية، والتي قد تلحق ضرراً بصحة وسلامة المستهلكين وقررت مجموعة من العقوبات الا انها، غير رداعة ولا تتناسب مع جسامة الضرر الذي يمكن ان تسببه هذه المبيدات نتيجة للاستخدام الغير مشروع.

This study reports on the readiness of Palestinian dentists to reopen their practices for routine care during the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.A cross-sectional study targeted dentists in the West Bank area of Palestine using an online survey during the first 2 weeks of May 2020. Questions mainly asked about dentists’ perception of the risks of COVID-19, readiness to reopen their clinics for routine care, and the level of confidence in dealing with patients suspected of having COVID-19.A total of 488 dentists completed the survey. Almost 60% believed that they were not ready to reopen their practices. Almost 13% had “no confidence” in dealing with patients with COVID-19, while 64% had “little to moderate” confidence. Confidence was correlated negatively with increased fear of becoming infected (ρ = -0.317, P < .0001) and positively with years of practice (ρ = 1.7, P < .0001). Dentists who received updated training on infection control or on COVID-19 reported higher levels of confidence (χ2 = 53.8, P < .0001, χ2 = 26.8, P < .0001, respectively). Although 88% preferred not to treat patients with COVID-19, 40% were willing to provide care to them. Almost 75% reported that they were already facing financial hardships and could not survive financially until the end of the current month.Ethical and financial reasons were the main drivers for dentists in this sample to reopen their practices for routine care. Data from this study highlights the fragility of private dental practice in emergency situations. Ethical, health, and financial challenges that emerged during COVID-19 require dentists to adapt and be better prepared to face future crises.

Reviewed by: Facing Illness in Troubled Times: Health in Europe in the Interwar Years, 1918-1939 Anne Marie Moulin Iris Borowy and Wolf D. Gruner , eds. Facing Illness in Troubled Times: Health in Europe in the Interwar Years, 1918-1939. Frankfurt am Main: Lang, 2005. xiv + 424 pp. Ill. $71.95 (paperbound, 3-631-51948-6 and 0-8204-6542-9). In this book, a consortium of distinguished scholars has chosen to focus on international public health in the interbellum years ("troubled times") from a comparative perspective, between West and East and also between North and South Europe. The chapters document the epidemiologic transition that occurred during this period: the decline of infectious diseases and the rise of chronic illnesses, such as cardiovascular, degenerative, and cancerous afflictions (interestingly, it was only in 1970 that the epidemiologist Abdal Omran called attention to this phenomenon). If the indicators forged by the Health Organization of the League of Nations remained rather crude, amounting to a simple draft of the Weekly Epidemiological Records produced today by WHO, the archives and reports of the HO remain an invaluable source for historians. The International Health Yearbook, a yearly compilation of data (a highly symbolic enterprise of the HO) is also useful; significantly, it was discontinued in 1930: even before this date, some states had been reluctant to submit to what appeared to them as a kind of nascent supranational control, and the task was not resumed until many years after World War II. Facing Illness also exploits other original sources, such as the previously untapped archives of the national insurance companies that preceded the unified Social Security system in many places. The East-West comparison is fraught with difficulties arising from the hetero [End Page 784] geneity of the data. If the analysis of the British case shows clearly the overarching influence of aging on disease distribution in the population, in Balkan countries we learn more about the official changes in public health strategies than about their real impact. Moreover, the constant revisions of international disease classification do not make it easy to track changes in morbidity patterns. Some chapters provide interesting considerations on the ambiguities of some once very popular trends in the history of public health. Eugenics, the medical movement attached to the improvement of the human species, is a well-known case: before becoming anathema in the wake of its adoption by Nazi doctors, eugenics, or the art of selecting the best-fit elements for reproduction, was a respectable and widespread academic topic among physicians. A little-known example of an eugenicist program is provided in this volume by the Zionists' efforts to sort out the healthiest elements among the immigrants heading to Palestine. Eugenics was not the only trend laden with political and social ambiguities: the ideal of the "total" measurement and control of health, supported by state officers and doctors, also had perverse, far-reaching effects. Showing that the enterprise of reforming bodies and improving public health happens to resonate with both Nazi and socialist ideologies, Paul Weindling pleads convincingly for an in-depth reappraisal of hygienic agendas in the context of the international, rather than local, political and scientific scene, and warns against the totalitarian fascination of sanitary control. As one of the coeditors remarks in her introduction, the diversity of situations targeted by these case studies hinders the emergence of a clear picture of the respective achievements of European countries. A stronger editing might have clarified the contrasts between them, and the disparities between national vital statistics, globally attributed to differences in lifestyle and behavior, deserved more extensive comments. Yet the chapter on the British case, the most extensively documented, illustrates how, despite the abundance and apparent reliability of the data, it remains difficult to track the invisible changes that operate in the environment and in people's bodies. If this book, at first sight, is primarily a document on the sanitary history of interbellum Europe, it is also a useful introduction to the political nexuses of the present time. For example, Patrick Zylberman describes vividly how the building of hygiene in the Balkans coincided with the invention of nations, and how the determination of ethnic borders, allegedly related...

The consequences of conflict on health and provision of health-care services have been documented.1WHOWorld report on violence and health. World Health Organization, Geneva2002Google Scholar War and political violence are fundamental public health problems, therefore their prevention should be a central task of health professionals.2Hagopian A Ratevosian J deRiel E Gathering in groups: peace advocacy in health professional associations.Acad Med. 2009; 84: 1485Crossref PubMed Scopus (10) Google Scholar Accordingly, health researchers and providers should, wherever and however possible, aid to alleviate the immediate consequences of political violence and advocate for the prevention of further violence and repression. Because of this mandate, the present situation in Gaza is distressing. As of Aug 1, 11 (of 32) hospitals and 14 clinics have been damaged by the Israeli attacks in Gaza, according to WHO situation report.3WHOSituation report #6. Occupied Palestinian territory, conflict escalation in Gaza-complex emergency.http://www.emro.who.int/images/stories/palestine/documents/WHO_Sitrep_on_Gaza___6_-_August_1.pdf?ua=1Google Scholar Ten hospitals and 34 (of 75) clinics have closed. 1418 Palestinians have been killed, including 324 children, 166 women (aged 18–60 years), and 60 elderly people. According to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two Israeli civilians and one Thai civilian have been killed, 83 civilians have been wounded, and 64 Israeli Defense Force soldiers and officers have been killed.4Israel Ministry of Foreign AffairsIsrael under fire: July 2014—a diary.http://mfa.gov.il/MFA/ForeignPolicy/Terrorism/Pages/Israel-under-fire-July-2014-A-Diary.aspxGoogle Scholar The present situation brings to light the need for international pressure to uphold international laws and codes of ethics that guarantee protection for civilians during war and political conflict. To impede the ability of health workers in their attempts to deliver care, or to interrupt services that support health in other ways (such as electric and sanitation systems) is in direct conflict with the fourth Geneva Convention, which assures protection and respect for medical personnel and facilities in occupied territories and military zones.5International Committee of the Red Cross. Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilian persons in time of war (fourth Geneva Convention). In: 75 UNTS 287; 1949.Google Scholar As public health professionals, we should be outraged by any violations to these essential guarantees; accountability for adherence to international covenants such as the 1949 Geneva Convention is a basic step in protecting civilians during war and conflict.1WHOWorld report on violence and health. World Health Organization, Geneva2002Google Scholar, 5International Committee of the Red Cross. Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilian persons in time of war (fourth Geneva Convention). In: 75 UNTS 287; 1949.Google Scholar We should support, for instance, calls from organisations such as WHO, which issued a plea to respect international law, particularly as it pertains to the obligation to guarantee that people can obtain medical care, and honouring the duty to protect hospitals.6WHOWHO calls for the creation of a humanitarian corridor in Gaza.http://www.emro.who.int/media/news/humanitarian-corridor-gaza.htmlGoogle Scholar Health in the occupied Palestinian territory has long deteriorated under the continuous effects of Israeli policies.7Giacaman R Khatib R Shabaneh L et al.Health status and health services in the occupied Palestinian territory.Lancet. 2009; 373: 837-849Summary Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (208) Google Scholar While we advocate for an end to the present bombardment of Gaza that affects civilians, we must also understand how justice, sovereignty, and self-determination for all individuals are fundamental foundations for health.8Becker A Al Ju'beh K Watt G Keys to health: justice, sovereignty, and self-determination.Lancet. 2009; 373: 985-987Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar We commend the commitment of The Lancet to publishing sound documentation from experts who detail the massive health consequences of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict on civilians. As public health workers and scholars, we need to make space in our journals and forums to share our diverse concerns, experience, and knowledge, especially in times of public health crisis, such as in Gaza today.

Photograph of Professor Pierluigi Cecchi Since the end of 2019, a sudden outbreak and pandemic of a new infectious disease—coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread all over the world, causing serious loss of life and property in many countries. Our distinguished intimate friend from Italy, Professor Pierluigi Cecchi, unfortunately, left this world in this pandemic disaster. Professor Cecchi was born in Rimini, a beautiful coastal city in northern Italy, in August 1943. He graduated from the University of Bologna (Bologna, Italy) in 1969 and was awarded with a Doctor of Internal Medicine and Surgery. Subsequently, he studied pediatrics, public health, and hygiene and preventive medicine; he received the academic title of Pediatrician-in-chief from the Italian Ministry of Health in 1979. In addition to his native Italian language, he could craftily master English, French, Spanish, and Vietnamese languages. He also had a firm international humanitarian spirit and was committed to improving the medical standards of developing countries. He had traveled to Nicaragua, Zaire, Kenya, Palestine, and Vietnam to aid in maternal and child protection, rehabilitation of malnourished children, special education for disabled children, medical treatment, and other voluntary assistant work. In March 2000, Professor Cecchi and his wife, Rosalba Rondinelli, traveled to Beijing, where he served for four years as the Italian-side leader of the Italian government's aid to the Beijing Children's Hospital Intensive Care Medicine Project. With the arrival of Professor Cecchi, the Sino-Italian Intensive Care Medicine Project was officially implemented. Professor Cecchi first performed on-site inspections and meticulous investigations of relevant departments, as well as had many discussions and exchanges with the emergency centers; he also collected epidemiological statistics, updated and revised previous results, and clarified the developmental needs of each hospital. He worked tirelessly, days and nights. He repeatedly communicated with our institute and finally formulated a new feasibility study report and redrew the project blueprint. During these 4 years, to aid in the development of the pediatric emergency medicine department in our hospital, Professor Cecchi worked closely with colleagues in the hospital to overcome various difficulties and solved both foreseeable and unforeseeable difficulties. With his efforts, the cooperation project has been implemented in a smooth manner; it has improved the level of medical equipment in Beijing Children's Hospital, optimized the treatment process for children, and expanded the hospital's management methods while achieving practical improvement in diagnostic capabilities and medical technology. In the past 4 years, the project led by Professor Cecchi has held 32 training courses and invited 19 experts to give lectures and training, including many experts and scholars from the United States; the participants have included more than 600 pediatricians from many provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China. Among the eight life support training courses that focused on model operation drills, the interactive teaching methods were highly praised by the trainees. In addition, Professor Cecchi conducted training courses in English, which improved the English level of the hospital's medical staff. In addition to providing guidance and support for the hospital's medical emergency projects, Professor Cecchi also worked on clinical training abroad. He funded a total of 33 doctors from Beijing Children's Hospital to travel to the University Hospital of Bologna, University Hospital of Padua, Florence Mayer Hospital, Rome Jesus Children's Hospital, and Singapore General Hospital. The emphases of these training efforts involved internal medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, anesthesia, radiology, ultrasound, hospital management, and information technology. Over 1–6 months of study, the medical staff expanded their capabilities in areas such as professional technology and management concepts; they also established a foundation for cooperation with relevant medical institutions. Through these efforts, the people of China and Italy expanded their knowledge in the medical field while deepening the communication and understanding between the people of the two nations. Thanks to the joint efforts of Professor Cecchi and Beijing Children's Hospital, the cooperative project has achieved positive results and has been highly valued and recognized by the leaders of both China and Italy. The former Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, the wife of the Prime Minister, relevant officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Chairman of AFMAL-FBF have recently visited our hospital. Leaders of the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau and the leaders of our hospital have also visited Italy in the course of this collaboration. On the basis of this project, Beijing Children's Hospital signed cooperation agreements with Santo Bono Children's Hospital in Napoli, Italy, and the Pediatric Department of St. Orsola Hospital in Bologna, Italy, in 2003; these agreements further enhanced personnel communication and improved hospital medical care. During the course of his life and his work in Beijing Children's Hospital, Professor Cecchi communicated well with his Chinese colleagues and often devoted his personal time to the discussion and resolution of professional problems with a wide range of people. In May 2004, Professor Cecchi was awarded the status of “Honorary Employee of Beijing Children's Hospital.” Professor Cecchi was an excellent envoy to enhance the level of international exchanges in our hospital and promote welcoming interactions between China and Italy. His contributions to the development of our hospital's medical emergency services and the instruction in key skills are worthy of perpetual gratitude. His diligence, dedication, persistent pursuit of pediatrics, and firm international humanitarian spirit will be treasured for many generations. We deeply mourn the passing away of the distinguished Italian pediatrician, an intimate friend of Chinese pediatricians, Professor Pierluigi Cecchi, and sincerely cherish the memory of his friendship with our hospital and the Chinese people.

Richard Deckelbaum, the current president of the Global Health Education Consortium (GHEC), began thinking about the need for a new kind of doctor as a young physician in Jerusalem and Zambia in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This new doctor would be comfortable practising in underserved communities anywhere in the world, and would help populations, not only patients, by addressing issues beyond the scope of traditional medical education, such as sanitation, clean water, and preventive nutrition. Deckelbaum soon became this kind of doctor, and has helped foster many more like him. He co-founded the first medical school with a required curriculum in global health integrated into all 4 years of training and specifically created to turn out global health practitioners: the Medical School for International Health (MSIH) at Ben-Gurion University in the Negev, Beersheva, Israel. And as president of GHEC—a non-profit organisation that promotes global health education in medical curricula—he's helped other medical schools to strengthen their own training programmes in global health. For Deckelbaum, a global health practitioner's role is to “work around the politics” promoting the health of populations while also protecting them. “I don't think populations should be penalised because of politics”, he says. Working with Umaiyeh Khammash of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, Deckelbaum is studying nutrition in populations of the West Bank and Gaza Strip; as part of this work he makes field visits to restricted areas and holds conferences on nutrition so that international experts can share knowledge with their Palestinian colleagues. “No one is dictating the agenda, the interest is definitely there for both of us, and I should say that he does this on a voluntary basis”, says Khammash. “I'm sure that this is a model that can be seen by others as a model for working together, building peace together.” As a medical student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, Deckelbaum's desire to see “health from the non-ivory tower point of view” led him to clerkships in Greece and Newfoundland. His plan to join the Zambia Flying Doctor Service after his internship was postponed when he met his future wife, Kaya Rosenberg, and followed the romance to Jerusalem, taking a job with Hadassah Hospital. In 1969, the couple travelled to Zambia, where Deckelbaum started working with the Flying Doctors. Visiting inpatients, he was horrified by the griminess of their bedsheets, until he realised that they preferred to lie on the earthen floor of the ward and had only been getting into the beds when the doctor arrived for morning rounds. This experience, he says, “was a sentinel point in making me realise that you've got to understand the background and the culture of the population that you're working with”. After Zambia, Deckelbaum returned to Jerusalem in the early 1970s, where he helped open the first children's hospital on the West Bank, in Ramallah. He worked closely with Israeli and Palestinian physicians to coordinate medical services, bring in supplies, and establish systems and clinical protocols. The collaboration required being “extremely sensitive and extremely respectful to both sides”, he says. Despite wanting to get outside the ivory tower, Deckelbaum also knew he wanted to be an academic. In 1973, he went to Boston to do research in biophysics and gastroenterology at Boston University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studying the physics of lipid-protein systems and inter-relationships in cholesterol and bile salt metabolism. It was here, he jokes, that he became “the world's leading and only paediatric X-ray diffractionist”. Deckelbaum continues to do basic research on the cell biology of lipids and on human nutrition and translate this research to population health, addressing malnutrition and overnutrition in children. And since 1992, he has directed the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University Medical Center, New York. At Columbia, Deckelbaum began a collaboration with Carmi Margolis, from Ben-Gurion University, to found MSIH in 1996. The school graduated its first class in 2002. MSIH students spend the first 3 years studying agriculture and health, disaster relief, traditional Chinese medicine, and other aspects of global health. Students also complete a clinical clerkship in Ethiopia, Kenya, India, Peru, Nepal, or Israel. “It's thriving and producing health-care leaders for the world”, says Marion Greenup, a former colleague of Deckelbaum's at Columbia who is now with the Simons Foundation in New York City. Greenup recalls a trip with Deckelbaum to Moi University Hospital in El doret, western Kenya, where he wanted to boost a clerkship programme for MSIH with Kenyan medical students. The programme's leading mentor wasn't too keen. But later, as Deckelbaum visited wards of AIDS patients “with great care, talking to people and listening”, he came on board, and Moi University continues to work with MSIH today. “It wasn't because he did anything super”, Greenup says of Deckelbaum. “He was just himself.” Colleagues say Deckelbaum's commitment to open collaboration, his empathy, and perseverance have allowed him to succeed where many others would have failed. According to Deckelbaum, “You've got to form partnerships with the people that you're working with. You don't really work with the top-down approach. Individuals in the community have to be involved in all aspects of what you're trying to achieve—they have to help set the priorities with you.”

I find it difficult to understand how Ted Tulchinsky and colleagues conclude that we “misrepresent trends in public health and health services” in the occupied Palestinian territory. As judged by infant mortality rates, which were noted graphically and in our texts and tables, Palestinian health conditions improved from 1967 until the early 1990s, continuing decades of improvements before 1967. Various factors are likely to have contributed to this trend: (1)Improvements in material living conditions resulting from employment of Palestinians as cheap labourers in Israel especially during 1967–87, albeit at very high costs (individual incomes rose at the expense of institutional de-development1Roy S De-development revisited: Palestinian economy and society since Oslo.J Palestine Stud. 1999; 28: 64-82Crossref Scopus (123) Google Scholar).(2)The Israeli military immunisation programme for Palestinians, although this programme contrasted with the neglect of other health services provided by the occupying power—perhaps because infectious diseases do not know borders—and the dependence on Israel for medical services.(3)Palestinian determination to resist occupation by developing their own health services independently of the Israeli military. The fact remains that, as documented in Israeli military annual reports and other sources, health services for Palestinians during this period were starved of funds, lacked basic medications and equipment, and staff were inadequately trained and insufficient in numbers.2Giacaman R, Health conditions and services in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. UNCTAD/ECDC/SEU/3. Sept 28, 1994.Google Scholar Indeed, the ex-deputy mayor of Jerusalem, Meron Benvenisti, found that the military government's entire civilian budget for Palestinians in 1980 was only 1·7% of the total civilian budget of the State of Israel, and 0·01% of the gross national product of the West Bank, and that there had been almost no government investment in infrastructure and development.3Benvenisti M The 1986 report. West Bank Data Base Project, Jerusalem1986Google Scholar The improving trends in health indices began to reverse in the 1990s, with stalling infant mortality rates and increasing stunting of children younger than 5 years. Our Series referred repeatedly to the multiple factors associated with these trends: Israeli military occupation of Palestinian land and its policies and practices; corruption and mismanagement of the Palestinian Authority; and a multiplicity of donors with different agendas and priorities. Our Series provided minimal coverage of the attack on the Gaza Strip beginning Dec 27, 2008. We refer correspondents to other accounts relevant to that, such as that of the UN Human Rights Rapporteur in the occupied Palestinian territory, Richard Falk.4Falk R Israel's war crimes. The Nation.http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090112/falk?rel=hp_currentlyDate: Dec 29, 2008Google Scholar, 5Harel A IDF in Gaza: killing civilians, vandalism, and lax rules of engagement. Haaretz.http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1072040.htmlDate: March 19, 2009Google Scholar Finally, we agree that Physicians for Human Rights—Israel is an outstanding organisation, which works with Palestinian partners on an equal footing. That is why we included many references to their reports and those of B'tselem, the Israeli human rights organisation. We wish to make clear that there are groups and individuals in Israel who are on the side of justice, including justice in health. These groups do not separate humanitarian, medical, or scientific work from solidarity with Palestinians and advocacy for justice and removal of the root cause of ill health: Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. It is time for Israelis, especially Israeli medical and health professionals, to face reality, acknowledge the root cause of ill health among both peoples, and work systematically for its removal. I declare that I have no conflicts of interest. Health in the occupied Palestinian territoriesRita Giacaman and colleagues (March 7, p 837)1 misrepresent trends in public health and health services for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza in 1967–94, before the Palestinian National Authority assumed leadership. Population health improved substantially under the Israeli Civil Administration. Full-Text PDF Health in the occupied Palestinian territoriesYour Series on health in the occupied Palestinian territory raises many important points. Implied as the basis for the Series is the premise laid out clearly in the Comment by Andrea Becker and colleagues:1 “Israel's siege, bombardment, and invasion of the Gaza Strip… [and] a strangulated Palestinian economy, gross restrictions on ordinary movement, and a pervasive environment of intimidation, uncertainty, and insecurity”. Full-Text PDF Health in the occupied Palestinian territoriesIn the March 7 issue, The Lancet devoted several articles to Israel's effect on health status in the Palestinian Authority territories.1,2 These articles reflected only a narrow point of view, ignoring the complicated reality. We will address the issue through the situation in the Gaza strip. Full-Text PDF Health in the occupied Palestinian territoriesI am a physician working in the Department of Emergency Medicine at a community hospital in Jerusalem, Israel. For almost 7 years I have been participating in the medical activities of Physicians for Human Rights—Israel (PHR-I) in the occupied Palestinian territory. Since Israel has placed many obstacles in the way of the Palestinian-run health-care system, I think that it is our professional commitment to support the right for health of the Palestinian people.

Tobacco use is a leading preventable risk factor for many chronic disorders, which are expected to account for an increasing share of the global disease burden. As part of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), we aimed to assess the effect of tobacco use by young people on global mortality.GYTS is a school-based survey of students aged 13-15 years. The survey was undertaken at 395 sites in 131 countries and the Gaza Strip and West Bank. We questioned students about current tobacco use, susceptibility to smoking among non-smokers, and exposure to secondhand smoke at home and in public places.The difference in current cigarette smoking between boys and girls is narrower than expected in many regions of the world. Use of tobacco products other than cigarettes by students is as high as cigarette smoking in many regions. Almost one in five never-smokers reported they were susceptible to smoking in the next year. Student exposure to secondhand smoke was high both at home (more than four in ten) and in public places (more than five in ten). Never-smokers were significantly less likely than current smokers to be exposed to secondhand smoke at home (prevalence 39.1% [95% CI 36.6-41.6] vs 72.8% [64.0-81.6]) and in public places (49.5% [46.7-52.3] vs 81.2% [74.2-88.2]).Our findings are troubling for the future of chronic disease and tobacco-related mortality. Reduction of tobacco consumption will require a redoubling of efforts to prevent initiation and promote cessation among the large proportion of young people who currently use tobacco. High exposure to secondhand smoke suggests a need for countries to pass strong and effective smoke-free policies.

We describe the demographic characteristics, health status, and health services of the Palestinian population living in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory, and the way they have been modified by 60 years of continuing war conditions and 40 years of Israeli military occupation. Although health, literacy, and education currently have a higher standard in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory than they have in several Arab countries, 52% of families (40% in the West Bank and 74% in the Gaza Strip) were living below the poverty line of US$3·15 per person per day in 2007. To describe health status, we use not only conventional indicators, such as infant mortality and stunting in children, but also subjective measures, which are based on people's experiences and perceptions of their health status and life quality. We review the disjointed and inadequate public-health and health-service response to health problems. Finally, we consider the implications of our findings for the protection and promotion of health of the Palestinian population, and the relevance of our indicators and analytical framework for the assessment of health in other populations living in continuous war conditions.

Cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in the Middle East has been known since the early 1900s. Recent epidemiological studies show that they are re-emerging as important public health problems in areas long believed to be disease free. Cutaneous leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania tropica, has become a significant problem in northern Israel and parts of the West Bank, whereas zoonotic foci of Leishmania major in the Jericho area and Negev desert present a threat to increasing populations. Canine leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania infantum, is now highly prevalent in central Israel and encroaching on urban areas. Recent studies on the vectors and reservoir hosts, in addition to the molecular characterization of Leishmania, are helping us understand the dynamics of these diseases.

During the last two decades, waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS), also known as hookah, witnessed a global increase in use, especially among youth. Little information is known about the burden of WTS among Palestinian youth. A cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of WTS and cigarette smoking and explore the associated factors among a sample of Palestinian university students. 1891 students, from five Palestinian universities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, completed a self-administered, web-based survey in 2014–2015. The questionnaire, which was based on the Global Adults Tobacco Survey (GATS), had questions on WTS and cigarette smoking patterns and socio-demographic and university-related characteristics. Binary logistic regression analyses were computed to investigate associated factors with WTS and cigarette smoking. 50.9% of the sample was women. The mean age was 20.1 ± 2.0. Overall, 30.0% of participants were current tobacco smokers and 33.4% reported ever smoking tobacco through a waterpipe. The prevalence of current WTS (24.4%) surpassed the prevalence of current cigarette smoking (18.0%), with a significantly higher prevalence among men compared to women. The gender gap for WTS (36.4% vs. 12.9%) was smaller than that for cigarette smoking (32.8% vs. 3.6%). Binary logistic regression models for the total sample (men and women) revealed that men were more likely to be current waterpipe and cigarette tobacco smokers compared to women (AOR = 4.20, 95% CI = 3.22–5.48, and AOR = 10.91, 95% CI = 7.25–16.42, respectively). Geographic area of residence, faculty of study and self-reported academic achievement were also associated with the likelihood of being current waterpipe and cigarette tobacco smokers. A high prevalence of WTS was reported among our study sample, and it surpassed the prevalence of cigarette smoking. Interventions to curb the practice of tobacco smoking among Palestinian youth should be tailored differently to WTS and cigarette smoking, be gender-sensitive and specific and target the regional variation in the smoking behavior.

While health needs and expenditure in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) are growing, the international donations are declining and the economic situation is worsening. The purpose of this paper is twofold, to evaluate the productive efficiency of public hospitals in West Bank and to study contextual factors contributing to efficiency differences. This study examined technical efficiency among 11 public hospitals in West Bank from 2010 through 2015 targeting a total of 66 observations. Nationally representative data were extracted from the official annual health reports. We applied input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models to estimate efficiency scores. To elaborate further on performance, we used Tobit regression to identify contextual factors whose impact on inefficient performance is statistically significant. Despite the increase in efficiency mean scores by 4% from 2010 to 2015, findings show potential savings of 14.5% of resource consumption without reducing the volume of the provided services. The significant Tobit model showed four predictors explaining the inefficient performance of a hospital (p < 0.01) are: bed occupancy rate (BOR); the outpatient-inpatient ratio (OPIPR); hospital’s size (SIZE); and the availability of primary healthcare centers within the hospital’s catchment area (PRC). There is a strong effect of OPIPR on efficiency differences between hospitals: A one unit increase in OPIPR will lead a decrease of 19.7% in the predicted inefficiency level holding all other factors constant. To date, no previous studies have examined the efficiency of public hospitals in the OPT. Our work identified their efficiency levels for potential improvements and the determinants of efficient performance. Based on the measurement of efficiency, the generated information may guide hospitals’ managers, policymakers, and international donors improving the performance of the main national healthcare provider. The scope of this study is limited to public hospitals in West Bank. For a better understanding of the Palestinian market, further research on private hospitals and hospitals in Gaza Strip will be useful.

Working in Emergency Departments (EDs) entails high work pressure and stress due to witnessing human suffering and the unpredictable nature of the work. This environment puts personnel at risk of burnout. This analysis aims to assess burnout levels and associated risk factors among health workers in EDs in Palestinian hospitals. Also, it examines the association between burnout and workplace violence, as well as with job turnover. Cross-sectional design utilising a self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from all workers at 14 EDs; 8 from the West Bank and 6 from the Gaza Strip. Burnout was measured using Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey. A total of 444 workers (response rate 74.5%) participated: 161(36.3%) nurses, 142(32.0%) physicians and 141(31.7%) administrative personnel. Results showed high levels of burnout among EDs workers; 64.0% suffered from high emotional exhaustion, 38.1% from high depersonalization and 34.6% from low personal accomplishment. In addition, high levels of emotional exhaustion (72.3%) was significantly prevalent among physicians compared to nurses (69.8%) and administrative workers (51.4%) (p < 0.05). In comparison, high levels of depersonalization was significantly prevalent among nurses (48.8%) compared to physicians (32.1%) and administrative workers (31.9%) (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the levels of personal accomplishment burnout among the three groups (p > 0.05). Moreover, high degree of burnout was more prevalent among EDs workers in the West Bank than among those working in the Gaza Strip (OR 2.02, 95% CI = 1.11–3.69, p = 0.019), and higher among younger workers (aged ≤30 years old) than their older counterparts (OR 2.4, 95% CI = 1.302–4.458, p = 0.005). Exposure to physical violence was significantly associated with having a high degree of burnout (OR 2.017 95% CI = 1.121–3.631, p = 0.019), but no association was observed with regards to exposure to verbal violence (p > 0.05). Finally, burnout was significantly associated with workers’ intention to leave work at EDs (p < 0.05). Burnout is considerably prevalent among EDs’ workers, especially nurses and physicians. Burnout is positively associated with job turnover intention and also with exposure to workplace violence. Therefore, there is a need for prevention and management strategies to address occupational burnout and reduce negative consequences on workers, patients and organisations.

The Nursing Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) has been conducted in schools in 39 countries and the Gaza Strip/West Bank (identified as "sites" for the remainder of this paper). In half the sites, over 20% of the students currently smoked cigarettes, with males having higher rates than females in 22 sites. Over 60% of students reported having been exposed to secondhand smoke in public places in 23 of 39 sites. The majority of students recognized that they are role models in society, believed they should receive training on counseling patients to quit using tobacco, but few reported receiving any formal training. Tobacco control efforts must discourage tobacco use among health professionals, promote smoke free workplaces, and implement programs that train health professionals in effective cessation-counseling techniques.

GHPSS is a school-based survey that collects self-administered data from students in regular classroom settings. GHPSS produces representative data at the national or city level in each country. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, and cessation counseling among medical students using the GHPSS data. The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) was conducted among 3rd year medical students in 47 countries and the Gaza Strip/West Bank from 2005-2008 to determine the prevalence of tobacco use and amount of formal training in cessation counseling. In 26 of the 48 sites, over 20% of the students currently smoked cigarettes, with males having higher rates than females in 37 sites. Over 70% of students reported having been exposed to secondhand smoke in public places in 29 of 48 sites. The majority of students recognized that they are role models in society (over 80% in 42 of 48 sites), believed they should receive training on counseling patients to quit using tobacco (over 80% in 41 of 48 sites), but few reported receiving formal training (less than 40% in 46 of 48 sites). Tobacco control efforts must discourage tobacco use among health professionals, promote smoke free workplaces, and implement programs that train medical students in effective cessation-counseling techniques.

The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) has been conducted among third‐year dental students in schools in forty‐four countries, the Gaza Strip/West Bank, and three cities (Baghdad, Rio de Janeiro, and Havana) (all called “sites” in this article). In more than half the sites, over 20 percent of the students currently smoked cigarettes, with males having higher rates than females in thirty sites. Over 60 percent of students reported having been exposed to secondhand smoke in public places in thirty‐seven of forty‐eight sites. The majority of students recognized that they are role models in society and believed they should receive training on counseling patients to quit using tobacco, but few reported receiving formal training. Tobacco control efforts must discourage tobacco use among dentists, promote smoke‐free workplaces, and implement programs that train dentists in effective cessation‐counseling techniques.
