The Ibdaa Health Committee (IHC) is an affiliate of the grassroots organization, Ibdaa Cultural Center, which is located at Dheisheh refugee camp in the Palestinian West Bank. The IHC is a community based, non-partisan, and democratic association comprised of local and international volunteers, including nurses, physicians, social workers, psychologists, counselors and other interested persons. Local healthcare professionals established the IHC in June, 2003, in response to the urgent needs of the population due to the intensifying Israeli military occupation and the consequent lack of essential medical and mental health services. The members are committed to improving the overall healthcare system for Palestinians residing both within Dheisheh Camp and the greater Bethlehem area. Connecting health with human rights and dignity constitutes one of its core aims. Through the spirit of voluntarism and teamwork strengthened by a mobilized grassroots community, the IHC provides critically needed medical and mental health services through education, prevention, treatment and professional training. |
