A Palestinian woman’s
life has been saved thanks to the expert care of Sheba Medical Center, Tel
HaShomer. And in an amazing turn of fate and friendship, the Israeli doctor who
helped save her was once rescued by her family when he was attacked by a
vicious crowd in a Palestinian village.
Four years ago, Dr.
Eitan was traveling with his son and made a wrong turn into a Palestinian
village near Ramallah. An angry mob formed around the car, throwing stones and
breaking the car windows. The lives of Dr. Eitan and his son were clearly in
danger when two bystanders who lived in the village, Imad and his cousin Ayoub,
rescued them.
Imad and Ayoub ushered
the Israelis into their home, calling for a rescue team and protecting them
from the threatening crowd that closed in around the house. Without question,
Imad and Ayoub saved their lives.
As a result, a deep
friendship was born between the three men, and now it has come full circle.
When Imad’s
sister-in-law was severely injured in a vehicle accident, Imad knew just who to
call – Dr. Eitan. The doctor helped facilitate the sister-in-law’s transfer to
Sheba Medical Center for lifesaving treatment and continues to oversee her
care. Her condition is improving, and she will soon be transferred to Sheba’s
Rehabilitation Hospital.
This story is the
latest example of Sheba Medical Center’s long history of spreading peace
through medicine. This hospital without borders has a firm belief in providing
the highest quality of medical care available, regardless of nationality or
religion.
