At the initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and with the participation of the Ministry of Health, a United Nations seminar aimed at encouraging the participation of Israeli doctors in UN medical activities was held last week at the MFA in Jerusalem. Over 100 Israeli medical professionals, specialists in various fields, participated in the seminar.

Based on their understanding of the country’s professional capabilities, Dr. Jillian Farmer, Head of the UN Medical Services Division and Steve Damond-Fagota, a senior officer of the UN Human Resources Department, presented the array of UN medical services and the range of employment opportunities available to the Israeli doctors.

This is another expression of Israel’s integration into the positive global agenda and the interest shown by the UN in recruiting Israelis into its ranks.
