Sheba researchers ran a groundbreaking trial on hemophilia that uses gene therapy to move from illness to cure in a few months.  Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder, usually inherited. It results from a genetic mutation or alteration in one of the genes that provide instructions essential for forming blood clots. Individuals with hemophilia suffer from spontaneous bleeding as well as excessive bleeding following injury or surgery. But thanks to Sheba, a cure is within reach.

Mati Aguzi, 58 years old, has been an athlete all her life – a dancer and a soccer player. Three years ago, her life turned upside down, and due to a severe lung disease, she needed a lung transplant.  Lucy Dee z"l, 48 years old, a mother of five, also loved to dance. Tragically, she succumbed to wounds received in a terror attack, which also killed two of her daughters. The Dee family made the decision to donate Lucy’s organs, which went to five different people, her lungs going to Mati Aguzi at Sheba Medical Center. Today, Rabbi Leo Dee met Mati, in an emotional and powerful moment for both families.

As part Sheba’s 75^th anniversary celebrations, Sheba presented visiting donors from around the world with an immersive field hospital demonstration.

At Sheba’s 75^th anniversary gala Romy Neumark, senior anchor at the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, served as emcee.

Throughout her beautiful speech, she expressed heartfelt gratitude to Sheba Medical Center for its groundbreaking work, underscoring the profound impact it has had on countless lives.
