PROGRAMMES

Through our partnership with the medical schools, as well as local and international charities, our programmes aim to improve the quality and range of teaching on offer at the Palestinian medical schools.

We have been able to support hundreds of students both directly through bursaries and training support, and indirectly through buying equipment for the medical schools and supporting visiting trainers.

Our vision is for a future where Palestinian healthcare is self-sufficient backed up by excellent medical education. This would negate the need for patients to be referred, at great expense and through complex travel obstacles, for treatment away from home.

Like medical schools throughout the world, every year senior medical students at all four Palestinian universities have the opportunity to do international training placements, also called electives, at hospitals across the globe.

Gaza Bus Programme

The Islamic University of Gaza have a new campus outside of Gaza City, meaning that it costs students on average $10 per day to travel back and forth. We have part funded a service provided by a local bus company. This provides a service for 40 students per trip.
