As part of Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club's ongoing involvement with the wider community, two of the club's star defenders, Yoav Ziv and Reef Peretz, today paid a visit to the children on ward "gimmel" at the Schneider Children's Medical Centre in Petah Tikva, a hospital dedicated exclusively to the well-being of children and adolescents. Among the children was Shalev Dabbush, who has undergone the transplant of a kidney donated by his father, a devoted fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
At the "gimmel" ward at the Schneider Children's Medical Centre are, among others, children who are waiting for organ transplants or who have already undergone an organ transplant. And it is those children in particular who frequently face long hospital stays in the months following the operation. The staff at ward "gimmel" bear full responsibility for the care of these children, not only where it concerns medical and hospital care issues but also where the emotional needs of the young patients are involved.
