Pursuing a medical career is one of the most demanding journeys a student can embark on, requiring not only dedication and perseverance but also substantial financial resources. For many students in Gaza, the road to becoming a doctor is particularly challenging, as they face not only the rigorous demands of their studies but also the weight of financial burdens and daily struggles that make it harder to stay focused and succeed.

At the Samir Foundation, we understand these challenges all too well, and we are committed to standing by the side of Gaza’s future healthcare professionals. Our mission is clear: to support these aspiring doctors so they can focus on what truly matters — their education and their future role as leaders in the healthcare sector.

That is why we are excited to announce the continuation of our financial aid initiative, which will provide crucial support to 361 medical students and 15 faculty members over the next six months. Through this program, we aim to cover essential costs such as tuition fees, daily living expenses, and transportation, ensuring that students can continue their studies without the overwhelming worry of financial strain.

This initiative is more than just about financial support. It’s about giving these students the confidence that their community stands with them, and that their dreams of becoming doctors and healthcare leaders are within reach. For many of these students, the financial aid provided by the Samir Foundation is the key to keeping them on track with their studies, and in some cases, it’s the difference between continuing their education or having to pause it due to financial constraints.

Why This Matters

The medical students we are supporting today will be the doctors, surgeons, nurses, and healthcare professionals of tomorrow. In a place like Gaza, where the healthcare system is already under significant pressure, investing in the next generation of medical professionals is essential for the community’s long-term well-being.

These students will not only serve their local communities but will also be instrumental in rebuilding and improving Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure, which has been strained by years of conflict and limited resources. By providing this essential financial aid, we are helping to secure a brighter, healthier future for all.

A Message of Hope and Commitment

At the Samir Foundation, we are not just supporting students financially; we are investing in the future of healthcare in Gaza. We are proud to continue our work with these dedicated students and faculty members and look forward to seeing them thrive as they continue their journey to becoming skilled healthcare professionals.

Together, with the help of our partners and supporters, we are building a future where the healthcare system in Gaza is stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to meet the needs of its people. We believe in the power of education, and we believe in the potential of every student we support.

Looking Ahead

The journey is far from over, and there is still much work to be done. But with the continued support of the community and generous donors, we are confident that we can continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of Gaza’s medical students.

The Samir Foundation is committed to providing ongoing assistance, and we encourage everyone to join us in this effort. Together, we can help ensure that these future healthcare leaders have the resources they need to succeed, grow, and ultimately serve the people of Gaza with the skills and compassion that the field of medicine requires.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support medical students in Gaza, the Samir Foundation proudly distributed care packages to over 360 medical students in both southern and northern Gaza as they prepared for their theoretical and practical exams.

These care packages were provided to lift the students’ spirits and remind them that they are not alone on their journey to becoming future healthcare leaders. The initiative aims to ease the burden on the students and encourage them to continue pursuing their academic goals.

The Samir Foundation wishes all students the best of luck as they continue their path to becoming the future leaders of Palestine’s healthcare system. We believe that they are the backbone of our country’s healthcare future, and we are committed to supporting them every step of the way.

In collaboration with the Samir Foundation, Dr. Hani Al-Qadi and Dr. Osama Hamed from the Jordanian delegation were hosted in northern Gaza to deliver the fifth session of the Basic Trauma Life Support (BTLS) course for medical students.

Valuable Training on Abdominal and Pelvic Trauma

The lecture was highly valuable, focusing on the critical topic of abdominal and pelvic trauma. These injuries, which affect vital organs in these areas, can result from blunt or penetrating trauma. Proper and timely assessment and management are crucial to prevent life-threatening complications.

On the joyous occasion of Eid al-Adha, the Samir Foundation team took a heartfelt initiative to celebrate with Gaza’s medical students studying in Egypt. In a bid to bring smiles and joy during this blessed holiday, the foundation distributed Udhiya shares along with chocolate boxes to the students.

The event was a tremendous success, thanks to the generous donations from our supporters and the dedicated efforts of our team. The distribution aimed to provide not only the traditional meat shares, which are a significant part of Eid al-Adha celebrations, but also sweet treats to enhance the festive spirit among the students.

Bringing Joy and Support
