Great story. Young doctors from Palestine, Israel, Jordon & Canada spend month together in TO.

For this, you may thank Dr. Arnold Noyek. You have met him in this space before. He is the city’s pre-eminent ear, nose and throat man; he is also a whirlwind of persuasion, a force of nature, and a guy who finds solutions to problems no one else dares to solve.


For example, under the radar of any government, he has, for many years, led teams of doctors into refugee camps in the Middle East to operate on kids born with hearing problems.


That program continues, and has evolved to create jobs for deaf kids, who now manufacture hearing aids for use in the region; if that isn‘t an Arnie solution, I don’t know what is.


The program that brings the young Middle Eastern doctors here is called The International Paediatric Emergency Medicine Elective.
