Students of Al-Zaytona University of Science and Technology were part of the team that won first place globally in the 2026 First Aid World Cup.

Al-Zaytona University of Science and Technology takes great pride in the achievement of its Emergency Medical Services (Paramedic) students, Murad Khamayseh and Leen Nazzal, following their participation as part of the Palestine Red Crescent Society team, which won first place globally in the 2026 First Aid World Cup. The event took place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, under the auspices and supervision of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), with the participation of 162 teams representing 85 national societies from five regions across the world.

The competition featured regional and international challenges focused on three main pillars: innovation in first aid and resuscitation, emergency response through complex scenario simulations, and public awareness campaigns alongside community capacity building.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society was crowned first place globally, jointly with the Red Cross Society of China, in recognition of the high level of professionalism demonstrated by the participating team, their rapid response, and their ability to deliver innovative solutions for critical scenarios and field simulations, as well as their excellence in community and awareness programs.

Al-Zaytona University of Science and Technology is proud to have students Murad Khamayseh and Leen Nazzal as part of this global achievement, which reflects the competence of Emergency Medical Services students and their ability to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world emergency situations and compete in international events where competence, innovation, and rapid response are paramount.

An achievement we take pride in… and students who elevate the name of Al-Zaytona University and their homeland, Palestine, onto international platforms of excellence.

President message

Al-Zaytouna University of Science and Technology in Salfit was established to be a distinguished academic institution, joining its sister Palestinian higher education institutions, and serving as an active partner contributing to economic, cultural, and societal development. The university aspires to raise the level and quality of education, providing a learning and research environment that enhances outcomes aligned with the needs of the labor market locally and regionally—particularly in this era of rapid technological advancement and the accelerating applications of artificial intelligence systems and information security in various aspects of life, which have had a profound impact on reshaping the daily life of individuals and societies.

To realize its vision, which focuses primarily on the creation and dissemination of knowledge, the university has been keen to offer diverse and specialized academic programs at the levels of the intermediate diploma and bachelor’s degree. God willing, the university is moving towards granting graduate degrees at the master’s and doctoral levels within the coming two years, thereby opening multiple educational opportunities for students who have joined the university. It has also attracted an outstanding academic faculty with high qualifications and practical experience, and provided a modern campus and well-equipped laboratories that meet the required standards to achieve the goals of its academic programs. The university has further attracted outstanding and distinguished students through scholarships, which has contributed to fostering creativity and excellence, leading to better outcomes for the labor market and advancing the sustainable development of Palestinian society. This, in turn, positions the university and its graduates alongside local, regional, and international institutions in their ability to compete in the job market.

I also address my message to our dear students who have successfully passed the General Secondary Examination, encouraging them to pursue programs and specializations in line with their aspirations and abilities. I warmly welcome them to join Al-Zaytouna University of Science and Technology in Salfit, which will offer them educational opportunities across a wide range of fields, including engineering and technology, health and natural sciences, administrative sciences, as well as technical and applied disciplines. These programs will provide students with broad prospects for diverse employment opportunities, particularly as they are designed to align with the needs of the Palestinian labor market.

In conclusion, we pray to Almighty God to protect our homeland, Palestine, to strengthen its people, and to unify their ranks so they may be able to face the challenges and hardships imposed by the occupation on our steadfast people across all governorates of the nation. It is therefore incumbent upon us all to work diligently and sincerely to build this homeland, striving for freedom and a life of dignity, security, and peace.

President of the University

Prof. Dr. Dawood Al-Zaatari
