Sheba physicians dominate the Forbes magazine 2017 list of the best doctors. Of the 873 doctors that made the list, one-fifth call Sheba Medical Center home. In fact, Sheba has more doctors on the list than any other medical center in Israel. Sheba physicians particularly shone through in the area of women’s medicine, making up about 40% of all doctors in that specialty.

In a first in Israel, Sheba Medical Center has achieved remission in a pediatric patient’s leukemia through CAR T-cell therapy. This innovative therapy is still only in clinical trials in the US, but has shown excellent results in over 70% of patients. Sheba is proud to be able to offer this effective treatment to our patients.

The Danieli Award is given in recognition of profound empathy and dedication in medical staff. It was recently awarded to two Sheba staff members, nurse Gili Gilat and Dr. Yoram Neumann of the Pediatric Hemato-Oncology Department. Sheba is proud to have such outstanding people caring for our patients and their families.
