Limitations
This literature review has discussed mental health needs
and services in Palestine. Palestine has been described
as “uncharted territories’’ due to a lack of accurate data,
resources or records [51]. It is a state that is seeking
independence with scarce resources, therefore health
research is underdeveloped and there is a significant
lack of health research infrastructure and funding [52].
As a result, there is a lack of detailed data or national
surveys relating to the mental health field [20]. In the
absence of a mature programme of research, this review
has had to rely instead on formal reports and small-scale,
fragmented studies completed by academics or by nongovernmental
organisations with little or no funding.
However, also important to note is that nearly all of the
reports used were produced by reliable international
and national organisations such as WHO, UN, Amnesty
International and MOH.
