Berkeley Undergrad Sets Up Mini-Clinics<\/strong><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

KGO By Carolyn Johnson  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

May 22 – KGO – The commencement speaker for hundreds of students in the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley is a remarkable undergrad who came up with a concept that could revolutionize healthcare on a global level. He’s already put his plan to work in Palestine.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Daniel Zoughbie, Global Micro-Clinic founder: "As leaders we can break down the confining barriers of insularity and hatred and guide into others into the freedom found in service."  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

For Daniel Zoughbie, giving the commencement address wraps up a remarkable career at UC Berkeley  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Ananya Roy, Ph.D., associate dean & chair of Urban Studies: "He’s redefined what it means to do well academically which is his ability to combine academics with public service."  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Two years ago, Daniel came up with a concept to treat and prevent diabetes in Palestine. His grandmother died in Bethlehem from complications of the disease.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Daniel Zoughbie, Global Micro-Clinic founder: "There were restrictions on movement, tense political situation, and as I wanted to think about how we provide health care in this situation, I wanted to deal with this issue of diabetes and provide some kind of health care delivery system in the developing world."  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

His plan was to create mini clinics in people’s homes or businesses, turning private spaces into public ones.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

He recruited volunteers in Palestine – doctors and nurses to educate the community about diabetes and about managing their own healthcare through what he named Micro-Clinics.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Daniel Zoughbie, Global Micro-Clinic founder: "The Micro-Clinic is basically composed of three to six individuals and we give each Micro-Clinic a machine to share a glucose monitoring system."  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

There are now 50 Micro-Clinics in and around Bethlehem and Daniel sees this as only the beginning. Berkeley’s Division of International Studies is launching a global Micro-Clinic fellowship program based on Daniel’s model.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Ananya Roy, Ph.D., associate dean & chair of Urban Studies: "There’s been interest in applying it to Afghanistan, particularly to post conflict societies, because partly what he’s building is not just an infrastructure of healthcare, but an infrastructure of peace."  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Daniel Zoughbie, Global Micro-Clinic founder: "What I intend to do is establish these programs for students not just at Berkeley but at every major university around the world."  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Daniel heads to England’s Oxford University in the Fall as a prestigious Marshall scholar where he hopes to establish a fellowship program there – young man already making a world of difference.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
