A delegation from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) visited the Faculty of Medicine at the Islamic University of Gaza to explore and elevate the activities and courses that the Hayat Center implements to enhance emergency preparedness and response at the Faculty of Medicine.
While the visiting delegation included Dr. Susanna Weilen, the Medical Coordinator, and Ms. Beatriz Garcia Fernandez, the Coordinator of the Gaza Strip Project, the team of the host university included the academic staff of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Fadel Naim, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, and Prof. Dr. Abdul Raouf Al-Manama, the Dean of Quality and Development. Both teams searched for ways of cooperation between the two institutions.
Following welcoming the doctors, Dr. Naim introduced Hayat Center highlighting its courses and achievements in the Gaza Strip. The visitors went on a tour around the laboratories and the faculty departments to explore strategies to improve the health sector. One of the suggestions was providing training for emergencies through Médecins Sans Frontières in Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip.
Upon concluding the meeting, the delegation members conveyed their gratitude for the endeavors of the Hayat Center at the Faculty of Medicine and underlined the importance of establishing a long-term collaboration with the center in the future.
