As a resounding testament to Pakistan’s enduring solidarity with the Palestinian brethren, a comprehensive initiative for Palestinian students to continue their advanced medical education within Pakistan, in the wake of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and West Bank, has been undertaken.

Under this initiative being undertaken through the concerted partnership of Pakistan’s renowned philanthropic entity Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan with Global Relief Trust and Doctors of Rahman, a cohort of 192 Palestinian medical students in Pakistan will be facilitated to complete their medical education in Pakistani universities, on fully funded basis. It may be highlighted that the studies of these Palestinian students got disrupted due to the ongoing conflict n Gaza.  Of these, the first batch of 27 Palestinian medical students reached Lahore via Cairo (Egypt) today where they were received by the leadership of Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan alongside senior representatives from Doctors of Rahman and Global Relief Trust, at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore.

The above initiative is being undertaken on the instructions of the Government of Pakistan. Under this fully-funded arrangement, Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan would cater for the stay and other amenities for the above Palestinian students in Pakistan.
