French Hand Surgery Team Returns to Palestine
French Hand Surgery Team Returns to Palestine

This week, give volunteers from France returned to Palestine through the PCRF to provide expert hand surgery on patients and training for local doctors. The team spent the first two days in Jenin Hospital helping complex cases who were scheduled for surgery through a previous mission, but that surgeon could not travel due to family issues. They have now moved to Gaza, where they are working again in Shifa Hospital. Led by surgeon Prof .Christophe Oberlin, the team includes surgeon Dr. Asan Rafee, anesthesiologists Dr .Bertrand Lehanneur and Dr. Christophe Denetes, and OR nurse Paulette Fauche. The team has volunteered to treat patients in Gaza over two dozen times
