Israeli Surgeons Share Expertise in China
[JTA] Alison Klayman - The team of 15 doctors, nurses and medical technicians, all volunteers with Save a Child's Heart, a charity based at the Wolfson Medical Center in Israel, set up shop at Hebei Children's Hospital in Shijiazhuang, some 170 miles southwest of Beijing, continuing a partnership that began 10 years ago. The group has provided surgeries for more than 2,000 children from more than 33 countries. More than 40% of the patients are from Africa, and another 45% are from the Palestinian territories, Jordan and Iraq.
