Arab Refugee Girls Study Nursing in England

1 October 1956

Eighteen Palestine refugee girls are taking a three-year training course leading to nursing certificates from the British Ministry of Health. Four of them are studying at the Bolingbroke Hospital in London. The young women were selected by the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which pays for their passages and provides for their incidental expenses.
Seen in this photo, receiving instructions in the dispensing of medicines from one of the Hospital's Sisters, are (l. to r.) student nurses: Olga Lama, Rose El Far, Khadijeh Ghoseh and Lurice Habib.
