Israeli doctors train medical professionals from other countries

Israel consistently exports its medical, human and technological resources for humanitarian purposes around the world. For example, since 1998, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sponsored 56 courses in which Israeli doctors train medical professionals from more than 100 countries, including Central and South America, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. About 1,200 physicians have been trained through these courses. The course, which focussed on emergency and disaster treatment, was held in April 2008 in cooperation with the World Health Organization.
