Reimbursement & Funding for Services in Palestinian Authority

Augusta Victoria Hospital is part funded by government and part funded by charitable donations. The oncology department is government funded. The hospital is resource poor and relies heavily on donations for equipment and development of existing services.

The Patient’s Friends Society is a registered charity non profit NGO. The PFS charges a nominal fee for breast and bone density screening services. All other services are provided free.

The Palestinian Authority funds hospital services in government hospitals in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Oncology patients are eligible for free treatment via their government health insurance. There is a small charge for some medications during cancer treatment.
