September 2024 Newsletter
Dear Friends,
As we usher in the Jewish New Year, we extend our heartfelt wishes and Shana Tova to our Jewish friends and supporters. May this year bring our global communities peaceful moments, good health and new beginnings toward cooperation. This time of reflection also marks one year since the horrific events of October 7th, which gave rise to a devastating and ongoing war, as well as deepening regional crises.
Despite the challenges for us in the region and for communities worldwide, we draw strength from the extraordinary resilience and commitment of our diverse global team, the health diplomats that bring our projects to life, and our friends and supporters with a shared commitment to health and peace.
In this third newsletter this year, we bring you three stories that highlight the heart of our work:
- From innovative education to groundbreaking leadership development programs, our Nursing Hub continues to expand its reach and impact.
- Launched this September, our Gaza Mobile Tent Healthcare Initiative is delivering essential medical care in the face of a dire humanitarian crisis.
- The journey of Palestinian gynecologist Dr. Nadine Teeti who worked with our Women4Women program and is today beginning a Fellowship at Jerusalem’s Sha’are Zedek Medical Center.
We hope these stories inspire you as much as they inspire us. Thank you for your unwavering support and partnership.
In peace,
Ronit Zimmer
CEO, Project Rozana
Exciting Updates from the Nursing Hub!
I’m excited to share some incredible updates from Rozana’s Nursing Hub, a program generously supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Middle East Partnership for Peace Act (MEPPA), with a contribution from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Despite challenges, Rozana’s commitment to health and diplomacy is thriving. Here’s a glimpse of our recent work!
Bringing Hope to Gaza: The Gaza Mobile Tent Healthcare Initiative
Amid the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where displacement, overcrowding, and a collapsing healthcare system have left almost two million people in dire need, Rozana is proud to bring a glimmer of hope through the Gaza Mobile Tent Healthcare Initiative. In partnership with American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA), we are committed to providing access to essential healthcare for Gaza’s most vulnerable. With ANERA’s long-established and enormously effective presence in Gaza, our partnership is ideally positioned to tackle this urgent mission.
Interview with Dr. Nadine Teeti
Dr. Nadine Teeti, an accomplished obstetrician and gynecologist from Bethlehem, has a special passion for fetal medicine and bringing new life into the world—both professionally and personally. As a new mother to a 6-month-old son, she balances her medical career with the joys of motherhood. With experience ranging from high-risk pregnancies to fertility treatments, Dr. Teeti's compassionate approach and drive to stay ahead in the field make her a rising star in maternal care.
