THE SECRET OF
OUR SUCCESS
Realising the dreams for a world-class hospital only
happens with the right support
understanding. The department made headlines in 2002 when the kidneys of Glaswegian
terror victim Yoni Jesner were transplanted to
seven-year-old Yasmin Abu Ramila, a Palestinian Shaare Zedek paediatric dialysis patient.
The Juliet Keidan Institute of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition has
become an international leader in its field. The
prevalence of serious digestive disorders within
the Jewish and Arab communities has led to
rapid expansion of paediatric gastroenterological services, research and groundbreaking
new procedures. The department houses The
Anne and Joe Turner Pediatric IBD Center,
which hosts regular workshops to support
children coping with Crohns and ulcerative
colitis. Practical sessions teach the children
and their families cooking led by Israels top
chefs while social and emotional needs are
addressed in confidence building and team
building exercises.
One of the first departments to open in the
new building was Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU). It is the largest in Israel and
among the largest in the world, caring for up
to 70 babies at any time. UK supporters have
provided the NICU with a six crib area, a four
crib area, a nurses station, a family room, and
eight state-of-the-art giraffe incubators to treat
babies who need the most intensive care.
Shaare Zedek UK executive director Simi
Ben Hur said: British donors have supported
the hospital for nearly 80 years, raising more
than 29m in the past 10 years alone, and have
created the ideal environment for scientific
innovation. We are immensely proud of
the strong British contribution to the most
advanced women and childrens health facility
in Jerusalem. This has been a truly communal
project to ensure the health of the next generation is safe. Thank you to everyone who has
helped make our vision a reality.
