As the rains begin and winter comes to Israel, Rabin Medical Center is preparing for the possible onset of the swine flu virus in Israel, and the possibility that many people in the population may be affected and need to be hospitalized.
Over 130 physicians and medical personnel from the Israel Defense Forces Medical Corps participated in a one day seminar organized by the Department of Hematology.
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.
