The report provides vital information on the health and wellness of Palestine refugees across n the Agency\u2019s five fields of operations \u2013 Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Gaza, and Syria.<\/p>\n The report focuses on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA health interventions in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, hostilities in Gaza, the ongoing conflict in Syria and the economic crisis in Lebanon. Despite these challenges, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA managed to maintain quality primary health-care services to some 1.9 million Palestine refugees, including in-person and telemedicine consultations, and secondary and tertiary care at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA-contracted hospitals, including hospitlization for COVID-19 treatment. Through the Agency\u2019s network of 140 primary health centres (HC), 3,046 health staff provided more than seven million medical (in person and telemedicine) consultations.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are very proud of issuing this annual report of 2021. This was again a very difficult year for us to operate at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA because of COVID-19 and instability in our communities. Still, our health staff never stopped providing services, and continued to have innovations like telemedicine. We are now reviving with our services with innovations in digital health,\u201d said Dr. Akihiro Seita, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA Director of Health.<\/p>\n In 2021, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA e-Health system was upgraded to facilitate telemedicine consultations, home delivery of medicines, rapid antigen tests, PCR tests, and online training modules for new staff.<\/p>\n By the end of 2021, the Non-Communicable Diseases Mobile Application (e-NCD) was utilized by approximately 75,000 patients, and the Maternal and Child Health Mobile Application (e-MCH) has been used by 200,000 Palestine refugee mothers and pregnant women since its introduction in 2017. In addition, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) was integrated into all Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA HCs.<\/p>\n The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA health programme continues to provide modern, innovative essential health care to Palestine refugees across the Middle East as it has for the past 72 years.
