UNRWA, as part of national health systems of Palestine, and The Lancet Commission: Global Governance of Health 16

Political determinants of health 17

18 UNRWA and Palestine (As Rita said) – Health (problem) is political, thus political solution is needed for health solution (As Assad explained & Mahmoud will explain) – Palestine has no shortage of examples – Occupation in West Bank, Seize in Gaza, etc. etc. (As I will say now) – UNRWA will do the best to improve services, and work for solutions through Global Governance for Health

19 Conclusions UNRWA will continue to support refugees – Focus on NCD, Family health & efficiency UNRWA is part of Palestine health services – Part of Payoff, Convergence, NCD & UHC Analysis & Guidance is needed – Rational use of (limited) resources in Palestine And, will work with Palestine through GGH – Political solutions for Palestine (health)
