The staff of the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center has worked on the new department which can include 30 beds, over the past week, with external workers who were harnessed to provide immediate help. The department was renovated and adapted to hospitalization in isolation and furnished with the required medical and technological equipment, including closed circuit TVs, an intercom system for communication with the patients, etc.
The department staff is comprised of members of staff from the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center Internal Medicine, Intensive Care Unit, and General Emergency Room departments. All are expert in treating infectious diseases and sickness in the field of internal medicine. The department is headed by Dr. Jamil Mohsen, a specialist in internal medicine and cardiology, who until now served as a doctor in the Intensive Coronary Care Unit, and Ms. Oksana Porat, who was until now Deputy Head Nurse of the Internal Medicine A Department.

“We have an amazing staff of people who have harnessed themselves to provide help to patients hospitalized in isolation. We are proud to head a department which is so complex and unique, and hope that we will help the patients as much as possible,” said the two.
Director of Hillel Yaffe Medical Center Dr. Mickey Dudkiewicz: “The preparations for setting up the department were complex both professionally and logistically, but every small detail was taken into account. The department was established within just a few days, thanks to a dedicated staff led by Dr. Benjamin Abo, Deputy Director of the Medical Center, together with the professional, medical, and nursing bodies, and health and logistic professionals, who worked with praiseworthy dedication and enthusiasm. This was a complex logistic-structural issue which received a professional solution in an extremely short amount of time, with the incredible commitment of the hospital staff and external contractors who participated in the required preparations.”
