JUNE 2, 2010 -- This morning, Chief Commander of IDF, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, visited three IDF soldiers wounded yesterday during the raid on the flotilla en-route to Gaza.  The three soldiers are hospitalized in the hospital's Surgical Unit in stable condition.  The Chief Commander wished the soldiers a speedy recovery and praised their actions.  He told them that as a soldier wounded in the Yom Kippur War and hospitalized at Rambam, he knows they are in good hands.  The Chief Commander was accompanied by Rambam's Director General, Prof. Rafael Beyar (left).

In addition to the IDF soldiers being treated at Rambam Health Care Campus, there are Turkish protestors hospitalized and being and operated on by our top doctors and surgeons.  This goes to further our mission of being responsive to the needs of all people, everywhere.
