A campaign supported by Bayt Mal Al-Quds provided free examinations, consultations and medicines to around 150 residents of Jaba, north of Jerusalem, and nearby communities, WAFA reported on 1 November 2026. Services included paediatrics, internal medicine, eye care and breast-cancer awareness, with Astra Lab and Moroccan health support. This describes a completed campaign, not an open appointment service today. وكالة الأنباء والمعلومات الفلسطينية — WAFA
Context and what it means
WHO describes primary health care as close to people’s everyday environment and spanning prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. This explains the value of bringing services nearer, while showing why a temporary campaign is not automatically a substitute for continuing care. Assessing the initiative requires understanding opportunities for follow-up examinations and treatment; attendance alone cannot establish improved health outcomes. WHO
