United Nations peacekeepers will take part in a special seminar in Israel led by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and leading civilian medical professionals.
\r\nThe seminar, which grew out of a discussion on improving cooperation between Israel and the U.N., will focus on emergency medicine and providing first response medical personnel in conflict zones throughout the world. Israel is frequently one of the first countries to respond to worldwide humanitarian efforts by sending missions to disaster zones with recent examples including Haiti, the Philippines and Nepal. |
