Join us in making a lasting impact.
The Ongoing Conflict in the Gaza Strip has Severely Impacted the Healthcare System,
resulting in no access to education, including clinical placements for dental students. In response to this crisis, PalMed Academy, in collaboration with Refugee Crisis Foundation, a UK registered charity, is launching an educational support program for the 1,500 dental students from Gaza. This initiative aims to provide these students with the necessary resources, clinical training, evaluation, and opportunities to advance their education and ultimately become the future dental healthcare workforce in the Gaza Strip.
There are a total of 1,500 dental students in Gaza who have been left without access to the essential clinical training required to complete their studies. We are working directly with the Deans of the Al Azhar University and the Palestine University of Gaza Dental Schools to deliver theoretical and clinical teaching. Theoretical teaching will be provided online using resources from dental schools in the UK. To complete clinical training, we will be renting functioning dental clinics and providing the
required materials and instruments. This will give the students the opportunity to complete their clinical training and will also provide free dental treatment to the Gazans in need. Due to the high number of students, we will be building semi-permanent structures for clinical training and treatment.
Dental Students from Gaza:
- Two Universities Al Azhar and Palestine University.
- 5- Year Undergraduate Program
- This Program is supported and accredited by the Deans of Both universities.
- Dental degrees will be awarded by the respective dental schools in Gaza.
- Approximately 20% of Students displaced outside of Gaza
