Abstract

Objectives: The study aimed to identify the level of oversight and participation by civil society organizations in the Palestinian Ministry of Health, to reveal the level of achievement of the third goal of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals "related to the right to health," and to clarify the relationship between oversight and participation by civil society organizations working in the health field and the achievement of the third goal. Methods: The study used the descriptive analytical method, with a questionnaire and interview as tools. The study sample reached about (310) questionnaires, representing (91%) of the total number distributed to the research community. Results: The study concluded that the level of achievement of the third goal "related to the right to health" came with a relative weight of (64.0), which is at a moderate (medium) level of agreement. There is a statistically significant relationship at the level of (alpha <= 0.05) between the process of oversight and participation and the achievement of the third goal "related to the right to health" as one of the Sustainable Development Goals. Conclusions: The study recommended that civil society organizations establish a complaints system for citizens, pay attention to monitoring the value of financial allocations for the health sector in the general budget, create an open platform for the public to enable them to follow up on the health reality, adopt modern and computerized systems to monitor the level of services provided, have the Ministry of Health involve civil society organizations in preparing national reports related to the third goal "related to health rights," and form a national committee to monitor progress in achieving the third goal.
