9/21 Facing Palestine's Silent Killer: The Fight Against Diabetes

Thursday, September 21, 1:00 PM EDT

The Jerusalem Fund warmly invites you to "Facing Palestine's Silent Killer: The Fight Against Diabetes," a virtual educational and fundraising event highlighting the pivotal work of the Palestine Diabetes Institute (PDI).

Founded in 2009, the PDI diligently serves Palestinian communities across three major cities, Nablus, Hebron, and Al-Bireh, leading the charge against the escalating diabetes crisis in Palestine.

On September 21st, join Dr. Eid Mustafa, Chairman of the Palestine Diabetes Institute, and Dr. Hani J. Rjoob, Diabetologist and Head of the PDI's Hebron Branch, as they delve into the complexities of the diabetes epidemic in Palestine. This health challenge, intensified by Israel’s occupation and its ensuing restrictions, demands our attention and action.

This event is part of the Jerusalem Fund for Education and Community Development's annual fundraising drive for the PDI. Your invaluable support empowers the PDI to persist in its mission, offering essential care and education to those most vulnerable.
