Osama is a Palestinian refugee whose father is from Gaza. Born in Kuwait and raised in the Jabalia and Nuseirat refugee camps, he has endured significant hardship while continuing to pursue his dreams. He is currently studying for a Master’s in Child Health at UCL, driven by his firsthand experience as a family doctor of the immense suffering children have faced during the war in Palestine and his commitment to child and public health.

“For the past few years, all of my work has focussed on child and public health; seeing children’s suffering made me choose this programme.”
