Any hospital in Israel would have been proud to deliver her baby, but Noa Rotman, the granddaughter of the late Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin, decided to give birth at the hospital which bears his name, Rabin Medical Center.
Noa gave birth to baby girl weighing 7 1/2 lbs at the Helen Schneider Hospital for Women at Rabin Medical Center under the care of Prof. Moshe Hod, Head of the Maternal Fetal Division. Both mother and daughter are resting comfortable in the maternity ward where the baby nursery bears the name of her grandmother, the late Leah Rabin. This nursery was donated by Queen Noor of Jordan on Leah's 70th birthday.
Noa spoke of her experience at the Rabin Medical Center, "This is an extremely special moment for me, the closing of a circle, since my baby was born in a hospital which bears my grandfathers name and her first home is a nursery which meant so much to my grandmother Leah."
The Third International Advisory Board Meeting and Symposium of the Raphael Recanati Genetic Institute was recently held at Rabin Medical Center.
In August 2006, Rabin Medical Center lost a very
dear friend and patron with the passing of
Seymour Rosenthal, who together with his loving
wife Lillian, are among the founding members of
American Friends of Rabin Medical Center.
Bilah Rochman was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia almost three years ago.
