Description:
HRCP was formed in response to the inability of the Palestinian Ministry of Health to sufficiently meet the medical needs of Palestinians on its own due to its bankrupcy in the summer of 1998. HRCP, therefore strives to help Palestinians achieve control over their own healthcare system in order to decrease dependency on outside intervention. We do this by supporting and funding local clinics and hospitals and serving as a resource for their individual needs. Until such time as the healthcare system is functioning at a sustainable level, HRCP will also be involved in the sponsoring of individual patients in severe need in particular those suffering from chronic conditions requiring continuous treatment. Emergent situations are also dealt with as they arise.
