  abstract = {{A}ttempts to establish a health plan for the occupied {P}alestinian territory were made before the 1993 {O}slo {A}ccords. {H}owever, the first official national health plan was published in 1994 and aimed to regulate the health sector and integrate the activities of the four main health-care providers: the {P}alestinian {M}inistry of {H}ealth, {P}alestinian non-governmental organisations, the {UN} {R}elief and {W}orks {A}gency, and a cautiously developing private sector. {H}owever, a decade and a half later, attempts to create an effective, efficient, and equitable system remain unsuccessful. {T}his failure results from arrangements for health care established by the {I}sraeli military government between 1967 and 1994, the nature of the {P}alestinian {N}ational {A}uthority, which has little authority in practice and has been burdened by inefficiency, cronyism, corruption, and the inappropriate priorities repeatedly set to satisfy the preferences of foreign aid donors. {A}lthough similar problems exist elsewhere, in the occupied {P}alestinian territory they are exacerbated and perpetuated under conditions of military occupation. {D}evelopmental approaches integrated with responses to emergencies should be advanced to create a more effective, efficient, and equitable health system, but this process would be difficult under military occupation.},
