Medical Fellowships: Building Expertise
The training of Palestinian physicians at Israeli hospitals, which began on January 1, has been a cornerstone of our efforts to build medical expertise within the Palestinian healthcare system. This initiative is not only enhancing the skills of individual physicians but also contributing to the broader goal of improving healthcare delivery in the region. Since the commencement of their fellowships, Rozana has facilitated private Hebrew language training to enhance their learning and integration.
