Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish Visits Azrieli Faculty of Medicine

The Azrieli Faculty of Medicine was honored to host Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, on November 17, 2021. Dr. Abuelaish grew up and raised a family in Gaza and was the first doctor from Gaza to work in an Israeli hospital. He is currently Associate Professor of Global Health at the University of Toronto. An author, he also published a memoir in 2011 entitled I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity.

Dr. Abulelaish visited the Azrieli Faculty to explore research collaboration possibilities with returning scholars who will be joining the Faculty in the near future. He met with the Dean Prof. Karl Skorecki and Bar-Ilan University supporters Karen and Marc Rivo, and lunched with Azrieli researchers.

We look forward to future cooperation.
