Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in California.  He is also a humanitarian surgeon, having worked most extensively in Palestine, but also in Ukraine, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Burkina Faso. 

He most recently volunteered at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza from March 25- April 8, 2024 with the World Health Organization, and again from March 3 – April 1, 2025 with American NGO MedGlobal.

Feroze has written and spoken extensively about surgical humanitarian work, the United States’ role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the political consequences of medical relief work.  He approaches the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a secular American and as a humanitarian physician.
