Dr. Raid Haj Yehia led a group of medical professionals on a three-day trip to Gaza last February as part of the Humanitarian Aid Program’s ongoing efforts to provide medical care in the region. The group gave seminars on recent medical developments to local doctors and clinics as well as providing free medicine, emergency care, and specialized consultations. Among the specialists travelling with Dr. Yehia were four gynecologists, two hearing loss specialists, and two pediatricians. While in Gaza, the team of doctors conducted free conferences on gynecology and women’s health, which was well attended by doctors and members of the community alike. Gaza faces an extreme shortage of medical professionals, making journeys like this all the more important for vulnerable populations and those in need. HAP workers saw this firsthand as they travelled between Al-Shifa Hospital and the small clinics throughout Gaza.
As Dr. Yehia and his team went from orphanage to refugee camp, from training seminar to near-isolated village, they trained much-needed doctors and community health organizers while providing emergency care to those most in need of it. This crucial and life-saving work is fundamental to creating a better future.
