Reuth CEO speaks at Jerusalem Post Conference in NY

By Jerusalem Post Staff

“Rehabilitation in Israel is suffering from a severe shortage of beds.”

Reuth TLV is one of the largest rehabilitation hospitals in Israel, with 356 inpatient beds spread across three divisions specializing in general, geriatric, and respiratory rehabilitation. The hospital currently treats one-third of Israel’s outpatient rehabilitation patients.

He discussed the treatments that the hospital has provided to those who have been affected by the war, from wounded soldiers and security personnel to women with eating disorders, whose symptoms have returned due to the stress of the war.

Reuth has one of the leading pain clinics in Israel, and Sharir added that cases of pain syndrome have recurred due to the war. Sharir spoke about one patient at the institute whose son is being held captive in Gaza. “We are trying to give her relief for her pain with day-to-day treatments,” he said.

Ido Sharir, CEO of Reuth Tel Aviv Rehabilitation Hospital, discussed the current state of rehabilitative medicine in Israel at The Jerusalem Post Conference in New York on Monday.
