The faculty of the MALRAD - Schneider Children Emergency Care Department (ER)
Thousands of children come every week for urgent care at the Schneider Children's Medical Center, accompanied by their caring family members. The intake procedure includes a meeting with the secretary, then with the nurse, and finally with the doctors.
This dedicated staff provides a range of services not only to the children themselves but also to the accompanying family members who receive a warm treatment, a listening ear and a helping hand.
The MALRAD (Emergency Care Dept.) was founded and managed for about 30 years by the distinguished
Prof. Yehezkel Wiseman.
