Healthcare in Beit Surik

As this information from UNISPAL suggests, there are no health care facilities in Beit Surik.

Access to health services

The Village Council of Beit Surik is particularly concerned that the Barrier will further limit people's access to health care.

There was no health clinic in Beit Surik when we visited in 2005. However there is now a large clinic provided by UNWRA. The Palestinians often say "with UNWRA and God, we will survive."

For other medical treatment, patients must travel to Ramallah or to Augusta Victoria hospital in Jerusalem (which provides services for refugees). Existing closure measures already make this travel difficult and unpredictable. The Barrier will compound the problems facing people from Beit Surik who need medical treatment.
