Cardiologists from China, Prof. Kornowski, Prof. Buttler, Dr. Yaron Shapira and Chinese Delegation
A special delegation of senior cardiologists from China recently visited the Rabin Medical Center where they were hosted by the Department of Cardiology, directed by Prof. Alexander Battler.
The guests were given an overview of the hospital by Dr. Efrat Harel, Assistant Director at Rabin Medical Center which was followed by several presentations relating to the activities of the Department of Cardiology. These included a presentation by Prof. Buttler, Prof. Ran. Kornowski, head of the Interventional Cardiology Institute and Dr. Yaron Shapira, head of the Echocardiography Unit and Valvular Clinic. The delegation then visited the Interventional Cardiology Institute where they toured the technologies and innovative medical services offered at the Institute. The Chinese cardiologists now hope to find areas for future collaboration and cooperation with Rabin Medical Center.

17 million deaths per year.
It was perhaps ironic that on the day that a special emergency exercise in the event of a chemical attack in a central neighborhood was held at Rabin Medical Center a real rocket fell in Beer Sheva showing the importance of always being prepared.
