On April 2024, Dr. Hussein Hallak in collaboration with Pharmacy Master Student Samya Salah, Dr. Nisreen Rumman, and Dr. Maher Khdour published a new study in African Journal of Biological Sciences titled Economic Evaluation of Using New Medications for Cystic Fibrosis Patients in West Bank, Palestine The article aimed to Evaluate the economic burden of cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment in Palestine and demonstrate the cost-benefit of introducing new therapeutic options. A willingness to pay survey to assess the patients’/families’ ability to contribute to the cost of these new medications was used. The results of this study demonstrated that the cost of CF healthcare in Palestine is huge considering the socio-economical status of most families. The medications available for them are very basic and there is a lack of newer more effective therapy options that patients and their families demand for better health status.
