FIMA SUPPORTS SPECIALTY TRAINING OF PALESTINIAN PHYSICIANS FIMA SUPPORTS SPECIALTY TRAINING OF PALESTINIAN PHYSICIANS Aly A. Mishal * Aly A. Mishal * Abstract : Medical education and specialty training of Palestinian physicians has been chronically suffering from major handicaps and deficiencies. The grim circumstances under harsh Israeli occupation, repressive measures, aggression, mass punishments and siege, together with poor economic standards, have culminated significantly into low standards of both medical care and medical education. Until 2 decades ago, there were no Palestinian medical schools, and when finally the Palestinians managed to establish their first medical school, they were faced with various obstacles and deficiencies. This situation has created a major necessity for outside help, especially in training of Palestinian physicians in various medical specialties outside Palestine, with continuous efforts to improve standards of training inside Palestine. Efforts adopted by the Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA) and collaborating NGOs will be outlined in this article. Keywords: Medical training, Israeli occupation, Gaza siege, FIMA medical relief. Introduction: The Palestinians plight story is one of national and human catastrophe due to the illegitimate, immoral and unjust occupation by Zionist Israel. Palestinians have been living under foreign occupation for decades enduring the restrictions implemented by the occupying power. This was compounded by the military invasion, further restricting access to essential items vital for “normal existence”. The people of Palestine have become destitutes in their homeland, and the current situation has been described as a crisis of human dignity 1-2 . Prior to the Israeli occupation of Palestine in 1948, usurping 78% of her land, the people of Palestine enjoyed the highest standards of living among people of the Middle East. Although they had no medical schools, their youths went abroad to obtain medical education and training. The Nakba (catastrophe) continued with further confiscation of Palestinian land for Jewish settlements, and its 1967occupation of what was left of Palestine, namely the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Between the years 1948-1967, these 2 territories, under Jordan and Egyptian administration, respectively, enjoyed acceptable standards of medical care. Medical students joined medical schools in Arab, Islamic, western and eastern countries. *Aly A.
