</div>
<div>Dr. Mohammad Hammad is a young doctor from Gaza who refused to let war define his future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past two years, Mohammad completed medical school during the war — working in overwhelmed hospitals, treating patients under bombardment, and continuing despite severe shortages and the destruction of his university. He lost friends, colleagues, and mentors — yet he never stopped.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Shortly before graduating, Mohammad was awarded a 12-month Neurology Research Fellowship at the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences, University of Edinburgh, under Professor Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, a world leader in stroke research.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is now a medical intern and plans to begin this fellowship in December 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His work focuses on improving stroke care in conflict-affected regions like Gaza — helping build systems that can directly save lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, this opportunity is not funded, and he must cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Travel costs
</li>
<li>Visa fees
</li>
<li>Living expenses
</li>
<li>Accommodation in the UK
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make this life-changing step possible, Mohammad needs your support.
</div>
<div>Your contribution will help him:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Access world-class training unavailable in Gaza
</div>
<div>• Conduct research to improve care in war-affected regions
</div>
<div>• Return home with skills to strengthen healthcare systems
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is more than one doctor’s journey —
</div>
<div>it’s an investment in better healthcare for countless patients.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference.
</div>

</div>
<div>If you can’t donate, sharing this page is just as valuable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support.
