“ISRAEL’S HADASSAH HOSPITALS: EMPLOYING, TREATING, TRAINING PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS SIDE BY SIDE”
“Whether it is offering Palestinian medical residents a specialty fellowship at the Hadassah Medical Organization or helping to set up a Cystic Fibrosis Center in Gaza, Hadassah’s health professionals are continually reaching out to improve medical care for their Palestinian neighbors.
Initiated on a foundation of humanitarianism, respect, trust, and bilateral sharing, Israeli-Palestinian collaboration is “stronger today than ever,” the Hadassah Medical Organization reports. Cooperating with hospitals such as Al-Makassed, Augusta Victoria, St. John Eye, and Red Crescent, Hadassah continues to provide sophisticated tertiary medical care to Palestinians from the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.
As Dr. Hani Abdeen, the Palestinian Authority’s Minister of Health, reported during his
May 2013 visit to the Hadassah Medical Organization, he would like to further the cooperation between Hadassah and the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health.”
“At any given moment, there are about 60 Palestinian physicians doing their residency at Hadassah or training in various medical subspecialties, including cardiology, dermatology, nephrology, hemato-oncology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pediatrics, surgery, pathology, and urology. The makeup of the residents is usually decided based on the interests of the doctors applying, the need for particular medical specialties within the Palestinian population, as well as the current demands for residents and fellows in the various medical departments at Hadassah.”
