American Urology Surgeon Conducts Hospital Department Assessments In Gaza

This week, adult urology surgeon Dr. Joel DeCastro, Associate Professor of Urology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, arrived at the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Yunis to conduct pediatric department assessments. Dr. DeCastro met with Dr. Hisham Dalloul, head of the pediatric general surgery department, and the pediatric surgeons to discuss the department's operations and exchange ideas that will help to improve and further develop the pediatric surgery department. Dr. DeCastro has volunteered many times with PCRF in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and is part of the Urology Committee on our Medical Advisory Board.

PCRF is the leading nonprofit organization in the world, sponsoring volunteer medical missions to the Middle East. In our 30 years, we have sent thousands of volunteer doctors worldwide to provide free specialized surgery for thousands of sick and injured children while providing training for local medical staff and saving millions of dollars otherwise spent on referring patients for care outside.
