Since the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada in December 1987, the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have incurred many costs. Perhaps the most immediately obvious of these have been the injuries and casualties suffered at the hands of soldiers and settlers. The beatings, the teargassings, and the shootings have resulted in an unprecedented demand upon medical services and health care facilities in the occupied territories. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the Palestinians have sought to cope with the toll of injuries, disabilities, and other health-related problems during the civilian uprising. However, to understand the nature of the struggle over health care, it is important to identify the main features of the Palestinian health services in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip prior to the uprising
