Sending Volunteer Surgery Teams to Palestine
International Children's Heart Foundation
In September, 1998, the PCRF sent a 15 member team of American volunteer
doctors and nurses to Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem to do open-heart
surgery on sick Palestinian babies. This team was led by Dr. William Novick
and did 16 operations in one week.
