Rami Barghouti's journey is a testament to the power of representing one's university and country with pride amid the rich tapestry of diverse cultures and principles. In a mission that transcends borders, Rami embarked on a transformative journey to Serbia, carrying the flag and name of his homeland, Palestine, with the aim of representing it in the best possible way.


The path to studying medicine is renowned for its challenges, demanding perseverance and resilience. Rami, driven by the noble goals of the medical profession, embraced the difficulties with a hunger for knowledge and a commitment to the greater good.

A pivotal chapter in his journey unfolded during a student exchange program facilitated by the Palestinian Medical Students' Association (PMSA). For 31 days in July, Rami immersed himself in the Orthopedic Surgery Emergency Department at the Central Hospital of Serbia, acquiring not only invaluable medical experience but also creating unforgettable moments.

Navigating the unfamiliar territory of a foreign country, Rami encountered the universal challenge of adapting and proving oneself. The beauty of experiencing different cultures and principles, though enriching, posed its own set of difficulties. Maintaining authenticity amidst diversity and being proud of one's roots in an environment that may not inherently understand them requires a delicate balance.

For Rami, being Palestinian added another layer of complexity. From heightened scrutiny at border checkpoints to navigating through endless questions about life in his homeland, he carried with him a message that often faced opposition. Despite these challenges, Rami came prepared with a wealth of historical knowledge, evidence, and personal narratives, underscoring the struggles faced by the Palestinian people.

Yet, amidst the obstacles, Rami found support and understanding, particularly from the Serbian people. The warmth and solidarity he encountered affirmed that the voice of truth resonates loudly, fostering connections beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.

Every challenge and difference encountered became an essential seasoning in Rami's experiential journey. Confronting these challenges with knowledge and awareness not only shaped him as an individual but also left a positive impact on his soul.

In conclusion, Rami extends his gratitude to the Palestinian and Serbian Federations for this exceptional opportunity. He also acknowledges the unwavering support of the Practical Training Center at An-Najah University, which has been instrumental in providing financial and moral support throughout his educational and experiential endeavors.
