Human Resources for Health Observatory team participated in a policy dialogue to present numbers of practicing physicians in the West Bank. The discussions were headed by the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Health, with participation from the Deans of Medical Schools, the Medical Association and the Palestine Medical Council. Discussions focused on the the need to employ more physicians to meet the needs, and the effect of the large numbers of medical students currently in training on the quality of practical training, especially given the limited availability of training sites.
