“New Blood”: New Director of Vascular Surgery Department

Dr. Moanes Ajaj, a resident of Arara, was recently appointed as director of the Vascular Surgery Department at Hillel Yaffe. Dr. Moanes said, “My vision is for the department to become a leader, while preserving its tradition of leadership, innovation and excellence.”

Dr. Moanis is a graduate of the medical school at Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremburg, Germany. He specialized in general surgery at University Hospital Regensburg. Upon returning to Israel, he specialized in vascular surgery at Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba and underwent further education in these two fields in Germany. Prior to joining Hillel Yaffe, he served as deputy director of the Vascular Surgery Department at Meir.

“I’m delighted and proud to be joining the Hillel Yaffe team,” said Dr. Moanes, “the Vascular Surgery Department provides a comprehensive solution for all types of vascular surgery, and our cooperation with all the surgical departments is essential and important. At the same time, the department treats a variety of vascular diseases, including peripheral vascular disease, occlusive diseases of the abdominal aorta, visceral arteries, iliac arteries and arteries of the legs, carotid artery and more. I will strive to develop the services the department provides and position it as an outstanding department in all respects - professional, service oriented and academic. It's important for me to be in direct contact with community physicians and departments and colleagues who need a resource for vascular surgery.”
