For 12 days through seven North American cities, Drs Khadra Salami (right), Adi Leiba (centre) and Raphael Walden (left) shared their inspiring stories about building bridges of understanding between Israelis and Palestinians, with close to 1,000 attendees. The venues were varied, including mosques, churches, synagogues, private homes, hospitals, universities, community centres and a US Capitol Hill briefing room.
A GLOBAL ENTERPRISE
In 2013, Project Rozana entered the world as an initiative to use Israeli excellence in healthcare, to benefit the Palestinian community.
The idea has quickly gained traction as people recognise that healthcare can build bridges to peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians. It is the only area of civil society where Israelis and Palestinians meet on such a broad scale and on equal terms through mutual respect.
Project Rozana is a child of its time, invested in the wisdom of people globally. Today, this initiative, which emerged from the leadership of Hadassah Australia, has been embraced by affiliates in the United States, Canada, Israel and across the Palestinian Territories.
It only has one agenda, without regard to politics, national identity, gender, sexual orientation or religious belief. This is to provide the Palestinian community with the best training and treatment available in Israel. So Palestinian society can build its own institutional capacity, to provide world-first healthcare for its people.
Project Rozana is gaining international momentum as people recognise that a change to the status quo is necessary, achievable and morally correct.
