History

On September 26th, 1994, a workshop was held at the Community and Public Health Department/ Birzeit University entitled " Identifying Training Needs Priorities in Women's Health." The workshop aimed at presenting the findings of a needs assessment survey conducted by staff members of the Department. One of the recommendations that emerged from this workshop was the formation of a professional platform for cooperation in the area of women's health. Thus, the Palestinian Coalition for Women's Health (PCWH) was created, and the participants in that workshop became the founding members of the Coalition. Subsequently, the group met on October 18th, 1994 to commence work on the recommendations for a National Health Policy for Women.
