We have the honour of hosting a distinguished guest lecture by Prof Dr Mads Gilbert, MD, specialist in anaesthesiology and senior consultant at the University Hospital of North Norway, with extensive experience working in solidarity medicine in occupied Palestine. Prof Gilbert’s presentation will highlight the impact of the Israeli occupation and blockade on the right to health, and discuss how the destruction of Palestinian hospitals and medical infrastructure, and the killing and targeting of healthcare workers and their families, is rooted in a deep structural racism and oppression of the Palestinian people, described by experts as a form of health apartheid.

The event is organised with the sponsorship of the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Project Fund, University of Galway as part of the Nelson Mandela Anti-Racism Week and the Irish Centre for Human Rights. 

Please plan to arrive at least by 5 PM to have adequate time to find a seat.
