QRCS to bring 11th batch of Amiri Scholarship doctors to Qatar – The Peninsula

Doha: Ten Palestinian doctors from the West Bank and Gaza are preparing to travel to Qatar to pursue their medical specialisations, after signing contracts to receive medical education scholarships under the Amiri Scholarship Programme for Palestinian Physicians.

During the contract signing ceremony, Dr. Akram Nassar, head of Qatar Red Crescent Society’s (QRCS) representation office in Gaza, emphasised the organisation’s focus on building the capacity of specialised health professionals in Palestine and addressing the lack of well-trained professionals. According to him, many scholarship graduates have introduced new services that helped improve the health services provided for patients.

Dr. Nasser Abo Shaban, member of the project’s advisory committee in Gaza, advised the doctors to strengthen their medical skills during the scholarship period, capitalising on their accumulated experience when back to work at their hospitals, to serve the patients and enrich the health sector with new expertise.

He urged the doctors to be good ambassadors for Palestine during their stay in Qatar, setting a good example for their fellow doctors.

Dr. Bashar Murad, Executive Director of Palestinian Red Crescent Society’s (PRCS) chapter in Gaza, praised the efforts from all partners to support the Palestinian health professionals with this project, with a view to making a significant advancement
