Despite the ongoing conflict, Juzoor for Health and Social Development (Juzoor) –the Centre for Global Surgery (CGS) partner in Palestine–, successfully conducted the CGS Trauma and Disaster Team Response (TDTR) course in 2023 -twice. In collaboration with the CGS, 49 Palestinian health professionals were trained in the management of injured patients. The CGS TDTR course hybrid model includes a combination of an online component -didactic lectures free of charge and available on the UN platform- and an in-person one skills stations, team exercises, and simulation.
On March 13-14 and on December 26-27, 2023, the experienced team of trainers from the Juzoor Hospital delivered the TDTR course to surgeons, physicians, nurses, paramedics, technicians and residents from several hospitals. The CGS is proud to support Juzoor in its successful transition to an independent implementation of the CGS TDTR course, which has been deployed by local leaders already trained by the CGS.
The CGS acknowledges and thanks its Palestinian collaborators for sharing their knowledge and expertise with a wider group of health professionals to increase their service and support to the Palestinian community. The CGS is committed to continuing its long-lasting partnership to expand Juzoor’s trauma care system.
