Description
Written by 36 Palestinian, Israeli, and international health professionals, the book describes and analyzes the Palestinian health system during the Palestinian-Israeli conflict (1967-1993) and in the post conflict era (1994-2000). A courageous effort at a joint analysis, it reveals the strength of separation through cooperation, and the effectiveness of cooperation following separation.
