About us

Project Rozana launched in Australia in 2013 as an initiative to build bridges of better understanding between Israelis and Palestinians through health. 

The idea quickly gained traction, as healthcare was recognised as the one area in civic society where people meet on respectful and equal terms, together fighting the common enemy – the disease.

Today, Project Rozana is an international organization, registered in Switzerland, with affiliates in Australia, United States, Canada, Germany, the UK and Israel.

Over the last decade, the international organization has developed and facilitated cross-border projects that have contributed to strengthening Palestinian healthcare while cultivating trust between Israelis and Palestinians.

Project Rozana is recognized by the Israeli and Palestinian government authorities, the WHO, UNRWA and hospitals and non-government organizations in both jurisdictions. It is also acknowledged by global Rotary as a trusted partner in peacebuilding healthcare projects.

We believe that healthcare can play a crucial role in advancing peacebuilding in the region.

A global enterprise

In 2013, Project Rozana entered the world as an initiative to use Israeli excellence in healthcare, to benefit the Palestinian community.

The idea has quickly gained traction as people recognise that healthcare can build bridges to peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians. It is the only area of civil society where Israelis and Palestinians meet on such a broad scale and on equal terms through mutual respect.

Project Rozana is a child of its time, invested in the wisdom of people globally. Today, this initiative, which emerged from the leadership of Hadassah Australia, has been embraced by affiliates in the United States, Canada, Israel and across the Palestinian Territories.

It only has one agenda, without regard to politics, national identity, gender, sexual orientation or religious belief. This is to provide the Palestinian community with the best training and treatment available in Israel. So Palestinian society can build its own institutional capacity, to provide world-first healthcare for its people.

Project Rozana is gaining international momentum as people recognise that a change to the status quo is necessary, achievable and morally correct."
