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.
It is not surprising that scientists in Israel were the first group to conduct research on the health benefits of pomegranates.
As one of the global leaders in the field of invasive endovascular procedures, Dr. Alexander Belenky, head of the Interventional Radiology Unit at Israel's Rabin Medical Center, recently presided over a conference for more than 100 radiologists from over 70 vascular centers in Russia.
In August 2006, Rabin Medical Center lost a very
dear friend and patron with the passing of
Seymour Rosenthal, who together with his loving
wife Lillian, are among the founding members of
American Friends of Rabin Medical Center.
