Sending Volunteer Surgery Teams to Palestine
English Team, March 2000
In March, the PCRF sent a four-member pediatric cardiac surgery team to
Ramallah Hospital to do lifesaving open-heart surgery on sick children in
need of treatment not available to them there. Led by surgeon Dr. B.
Sethia, who worked in Palestine in 1999, and cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Wright, the
team treated several children over a five day period.
