The Story of Lampros Kallenos’s Treatment at a Children’s Hospital in Israel

The tale of Lamos’s fight for life is a powerful, genuine description of the superior level of medicine and compassionate care provided by a team of physicians in Israel.

Lampros Kallenos, a 6-year-old boy from Cyprus, arrived at The Edmond and Lily Safra Children’s Hospital in Israel, Sheba Medical Center, when he was only three weeks old. There, he was diagnosed with lymphangiomatosis, a rare and serious condition. Since then, Lampros underwent complex surgery, was in a coma, and has been in and out of the ICU constantly. At one point, he was flown to Philadelphia for specialized lung surgery before returning to Israel for rehabilitation that spanned more than a year. Because his condition is so rare and complex, specialists from every department at the children’s hospital were involved in his treatment. In his parent’s words, “The doctors in Israel are highly trained physicians who worked together to give Lampros the best possible medical care. They were always available, always willing to help us.”
