at the moment the Jewish com-
munity in Palestine has enough
doctors, this will not be true
six or eight years from now
because then there will be an
acute shortage unless the Medical
School begins to function next
year. Moreover, the Arab pop-
ulation and the neighboring
states are in desperate need of
more adequate medical care.

WILL SPUR RESEARCH
THE NEW MEDICAL School
will also offer an opportunity
unique in the Middle East for
research. Already more than
enough creative work has been
done to show that Palestine of-
fers a singular combination of
circumstances favorable to the
advancement of medical science.
For example, the diseases
common in Palestine are com-
mon to much of the Orient.
Hence, discoveries contributing
to the cure of these diseases will
be of incalculable value to the
whole of the Arab world.
Moreover, Palestine is espec-
ially rich in potential talent, the
talent of young men and women
who ask only to be given an
opportunity to devote themselves
to medical research. They do
not ask for lucrative practices.
They ask only to be allowed
to develop their capacities and
to place these at the service o
the whole community.
The same emphasis on de
tion to the common good
a

In Palestine, on the contrary,
the Hadassah Health Organiza-
tion directs not only the hospital
but also public health activity
throughout the Jewish commun-
ity. Hence, there medical stu-
dents will have an opportunity
to study the theory and prac-
tice of public health not as
something separate from their
medical training.
Thus the social implications of
the Medical School's training in
preventive medicine and public
health will, in the opinion of
prominent medical authorities in
this country, set a new standard
which will challenge some of the
older and now outmoded meth-
ods of teaching in these fields.
