Program Coordinator (M/F)

10:57:00 AM

MDM-F-France has been working in Palestine since 1995. The general goal of MDM-F is to improve the physical and mental health of the Palestinian populations in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip through developing local health professionals’ abilities in specialised fields (i.e. orthopaedic surgery, basic life support trainings, mental health access, etc), addressing the health care system limitations, developing emergency preparedness plans with local partners and engage in advocacy and communications activities where possible. MdM-F is established in Nablus since 2002 and intervenes there in the field of mental health.

Since 2008, MdM-F strategy in Nablus includes 3 components:

  • a psychosocial component for children in schools of villages affected by violence and concerned with protection issues

  • the training and supervision of the health staff in the primary health care centres of the same villages, focusing on mental health (receiving / listening / orientating) to improve the access to mental health care at the village level

  • the supervision of a community mental health center at Nablus level (governorate)

A new project phase started in July 2011, combining mental health and a primary health care component, targeting vulnerable areas in Nablus and Salfit governorates. The project objective is to improve access to quality mental health, emergency care and psychosocial support for populations in the vulnerable communities in the targeted villages of Nablus/ Salfit.
