Delivering Primary Healthcare in Gaza

After two years of conflict, only half of Gaza's primary health care centres remain functional. In this episode of the Frontline Shift, health workers from UKMed — an Emergency Medical Team working in coordination with WHO in Gaza since January 2024 — share what it has taken to keep primary health care going under relentless pressure. They discuss the immense challenges of operating with critical supply shortages, maintaining continuity of care for displaced populations, and reaching communities in areas with little to no functioning health infrastructure.
Primary health care is the entry point into the health system. Keeping it functioning is not just about treating illness, it is about restoring trust, dignity, and the foundations of a resilient health system for the people of Gaza.
