Antone (Tony) Tarazi (1927-1999) was the first Palestinian neurosurgeon and the first neurosurgeon in Jordan. In 1952, Tarazi received his medical degree from the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. After completing neurosurgery training at the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1960, he returned to Palestine to practice neurosurgery in both Palestine and Jordan. For almost 10 years, he alone carried the load of neurosurgery for a population of >3 million people. His skills and knowledge enabled him to achieve admirable results with limited available resources. Tarazi was the president of the Palestinian Neurosurgical Society, a member of Jordan medical societies, and a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. His continuous efforts to improve medical services extended beyond neurosurgery to many other fields. This article recounts Antone Tarazi's achievements and contributions to neurosurgery in Palestine and Jordan.
安东尼（托尼）·塔拉齐（1927 - 1999）是首位巴勒斯坦神经外科医生，也是约旦的首位神经外科医生。1952年，塔拉齐在黎巴嫩的贝鲁特美国大学获得医学学位。1960年在蒙特利尔神经学研究所完成神经外科培训后，他回到巴勒斯坦，在巴勒斯坦和约旦两地从事神经外科工作。近10年来，他独自承担着为300多万人提供神经外科服务的重任。他的技能和知识使他能够在有限的可用资源条件下取得令人钦佩的成果。塔拉齐曾任巴勒斯坦神经外科学会主席，是约旦医学协会成员，也是美国神经外科医生协会成员。他为改善医疗服务所做的持续努力不仅限于神经外科领域，还扩展到了许多其他领域。本文讲述了安东尼·塔拉齐在巴勒斯坦和约旦神经外科领域所取得的成就和贡献。
