  3. The Arab National Society for Health Research and Services strives to achieve equitable health, environmental and socio-economic conditions for Palestinian Arabs throughout Israel. The mission of the Galilee Society is therefore to empower the Palestinian population in Israel and to strengthen civil society through measures such as education, distribution of health services, raising awareness through the media and extensive advocacy and lobbying to achieve equal health and environmental conditions.

General (or Core) Program The Health Rights Center Environmental Justice Center Rikaz Databank (www.rikaz.org) and The Naqab (Negev) Department Strategic Projects The Institute of Applied Research Medicinal Plant Center for Research and Education (Al-Maissam) The Galilee Society works in two distinct spheres

  9. My Expectations • To act as a lobby to encourage the state to change it’s policy and to support the Arab NGO’s (financially & professionally) that work to improve the Arabs health status • To provide more academic opportunities for the Arab professionals and community activists • To support Arab NGO’s in Israel through professional organizations in the states especially in health. • To increase the funds directed to health projects focused on the health indicators mentioned before
