NYU partners with Israeli hospital for soldier care

New York University Langone is collaborating with Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center to provide advanced care for Israeli soldiers injured in the conflict with Hamas. This partnership focuses on osseointegration techniques, which attach prosthetics directly to bones. The initiative, facilitated by the charity Belev Echad, aims to train Israeli doctors in these advanced surgical methods. This approach is expected to improve the quality of life for soldiers who have lost limbs. Previously, such techniques were not widely available in Israel. The NYU Center for Amputation Reconstruction offers comprehensive services, including surgery and therapy, to support recovery for these soldiers.
