Prof. Eitan Kerem, Director of Pediatrics at Hadassah Hospital-Mount Scopus

With an internationally prominent Hadassah pediatrician in town, Hadassah Austria took the opportunity to introduce him to friends--and potential friends--of Hadassah at a gala fundraising dinner and a ladies luncheon.

Prof. Eitan Kerem, Director of Pediatrics at Hadassah Hospital-Mount Scopus and head of its Cystic Fibrosis Center, was in Vienna to chair an International Congress on  Pediatric Pulmonology, attended by over 500 physicians from around the world.

Hadassah Austria’s ladies luncheon was held in a private home; the dinner, sponsored by a publishing house and newspaper owned by friends of Hadassah Austria, took place in the restaurant of an exclusive plant and flower shop. Prof. Kerem addressed the audience at both events, providing a historical perspective on Hadassah’s pivotal contributions to the development of pediatrics in Israel.
