Since 1994, NORWAC has worked in Palestine to support health institutions and to strengthen local educational structures. Over the years, we developed long-term partnerships with Palestinian healthcare providers to promote predictability, build mutual trust, and ensure lasting results. NORWAC has been active in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza. Since 7 October 2023, we have continued full operation of our projects in Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank. In Gaza, our work has expanded to include emergency activities, such as deploying emergency medical teams and delivering essential medical supplies. NORWAC’s overriding aim in Palestine is to help Palestinians in need of Health support.

NORWAC partners in Palestine:

We have also established institutional cooperation agreements with several hospitals in Norway, providing access to highly qualified medical and technical expertise. This expertise has been applied in Palestinian hospitals. Below are our current partners in Palestine:
