Israeli Doctors Treat Palestinian Children


(Jerusalem Post) Brenda Katten - Dr. Yoram Neumann, a consultant to the outpatient clinic of the pediatric oncology department at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, says that, currently, 40% of his patients come from Gaza and the West Bank.

She spoke warmly of the care given to her child and the support she personally receives.
