Project Summary :	Under this proposed project, CARE Palestine West Bank /Gaza (WBG) and its partner Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) seek to improve access to quality primary health care services (PHC) and the provision of integrated sexual and reproductive health services (SRH) in Area C to ensure the lifesaving care for the vulnerable residents of the most marginalized and underserved area in the West Bank (WB) and to build the capacity of these communities to better prepare and respond to emergencies. This will be done through mobile health clinics/teams to achieve the below two objectives:

1. Enhanced access to primary health care and sexual and reproductive health services to Palestinians residing in (50) most vulnerable communities in Area C in the West Bank, focusing on women, girls, children, elderly, young, and People with disability (PWD) via mobile health teams/clinics. 
2.  Enhanced capacity of vulnerable Palestinians in Area C communities and medical teams to respond to protection risks and emergency related challenges, and their linkage to the existing protection mechanisms in terms. 

CARE/partner (PMRS), in close coordination with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Health and Nutrition Cluster (HNC), will provide life-saving services in targeted communities in the WB through mobile clinics/teams that offer basic curative and preventive primary health care services (PHC), including women’s healthcare (ante and post-natal care, obstetric care, etc.), general practice care (GP), health awareness with focus on community health needs and priorities, prevention of diseases,  referrals, basic lab tests, home visits, children’s health and psychosocial support. The mobile health teams/clinics will receive trainings on the Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH), Gender-Based Violence (GBV) detection and Referral mechanisms, Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) to sustain SRH services during emergencies and refresher courses in first aid.

Additionally, the medical mobile teams will train selected community focal points (mainly females) on first aid and provide them with First Aid kits to better respond to the emergencies in their communities at any time.
The identified locations will be targeted through 4 mobile health clinics (9 health teams) that will be visiting these communities regularly to provide the health services per agreed upon program/plan with HNC, other service providers and MoH. The (50) locations are distributed as follows: 18 locations in the Hebron area, 13 locations in Bartaa enclave in Jenin, 10 Bedouin communities in Jerusalem (E1) and middle Jordan valley area and additional 9 locations in Jenin area (The 9 addiitonal locations in Jenin were included as a result of a request from the HNC and the mobile clinics working group, the plan to cover the 9 locations starting from October as they are covered till then. All oth41 locations l benefit from the intervention starting from August 2022.

The project is designed in full coordination with other actors, mainly the MoH and HNC. CARE/partners, together with MoH teams, identified the targeted locations to ensure best utilization of the available resources and to avoid overlap and duplication.
