There are three Iraqis receiving medical treatment in the Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Israel as we speak. A 30-year-old Iraqi woman underwent cardiac catheterization in order to seal an atrial septal defect. The entire procedure, performed by Dr. Avraham Lorber, was watched by a group of senior Israeli cardiologists attending a National Cardiology Seminar on invasive cardiology at Haifa's largest hospital. The young Muslim woman's identity was kept secret, or the life-saving procedure performed in Israel might cost her her life.
She was referred for treatment in Israel by the Shevet Achim group, a Christian organization who helps residents of Arab countries travel to Israel for medical treatment, in attempt to bridge gaps and bring Muslim and Jews together.
Two more Iraqi patients are currently being treated in Rambam: a two month-old baby who had surgery two weeks ago and a child who had surgery today.
