The director-general of the Ministry of Health awarded Laniado Hospital a Certificate of Appreciation for its participation in the Ministry’s humanitarian aid delegation to Nepal, and for the loan of medical equipment to bring patients back to Israel following the severe earthquake that hit the country in April.

Laniado Hospital sent Dr. Koby Schiff, a senior physician at the NICU and Mr. Riad Gera, a respiratory technologist, on the Health Ministry delegation to Nepal. “We have a sacred mission to save lives, whether it’s here at Laniado Hospital or anywhere else on earth”, said Laniado CEO Rabbi Chaim Hammerman. “We immediately responded to the request from the emergency division at the Ministry of Health and will do so in the future, if asked.”
