WHO WE ARE
Operating Together is a pioneering initiative based at Wolfson Medical Center, dedicated to optimizing regional trauma care by fostering cooperation & relationships between Israeli & Palestinian healthcare providers. We focus on bridging divides through training, shared experiences, professional growth, and the unifying goal of working together to improve trauma care across the region.
​
Through our programs, we bring together diverse medical teams to build relationships, exchange knowledge, and advance acute surgical care. By creating opportunities for collaborative learning and hands-on training, we aim to strengthen trauma systems while promoting understanding and cooperation between colleagues with a common passion & dedication to helping others.
​
Operating Together goes beyond healthcare—it's about building a future where compassion and partnership lead to tangible improvements in patient care and cross-cultural connections, ensuring a lasting impact on communities for generations.
WHAT WE DO
We unite Palestinian & Israeli healthcare providers to improve trauma care through training, research, clinical experiences, and education.
At Operating Together, We offer specialized courses such as Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses (ATCN), Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET), and Acute Surgical & Trauma Care Ultrasound. All of our courses & activities aim to equip healthcare professionals with critical life-saving skills to manage trauma cases. All of our courses & programs consist of half Palestinians & half Israelis, therefore consistently fostering cross-cultural cooperation in trauma care.
​
Further projects will include joint research initiatives to advance trauma care practices and address the region's unique healthcare challenges; observership programs that will allow physicians & nurses to experience first-hand high volume & academic trauma centers around the world; and global surgery programs that will consist of joint missions to experience & learn in different socioeconomic & cultural settings.
