Who would have guessed that after only 60 years of modern existence, Israel would have some of the best hospitals in the region and the world. As the Psalms say “The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:2-3). When you spend much time in Israeli society, you will find that God's certainly gathering the “outcasts of Israel” or those that just don’t “fit” anywhere else. The “healing” is not far behind. Here is a list of just a few amazing medical advancements, research and breakthroughs that Israel has championed in its first 60 years that no other nation has developed. MEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS
