Hi

I have a client who is going to live in Israel for a year and he
would like to know if anyone can recommend an orthotic centre in
Jerusalem. Can anyone help?

Thank you to all those who responded to the above question.

The name of the main prosthetics group, and I imagine it is also an
orthotics organization, is called GAPIM. There is a branch of it in
Jerusalem, but I don't have the address or phone number. Also, you
can look for the Jerusalem Institute of Rehabilitation, which is
relatively new. Good luck! From: ricki John,

Please send the answers your received.

Thanks,

JR

Gapim is the largest source of prosthetic devices there. You patient
can look in the yellow pages for their phone # ESQUENAZI's

Bitcover and I am an American certified orthotist/prosthetist working

Jerusalem. I can be reached by email <Email Address Redacted> What is
the client's name and when will he be arriving here? Look forward to
hearing from you. Sincerely, Eric Bitcover

Dear John,

I saw your post on oandp-l list. I am a relatively new BKA and I live
in Jerusalem. I would be interested in finding out the results of
your question to the group. If possible please email the names of
orthotic centers that you received and I possibly will add some to
your list.

Thank you,
Carl Markowitz

DEAR JOHN,
 I'M NOT SURE ABOUT WHO IN PARTICULAR THEY CAN SEE IN JERUSALEM BUT I
 HAVE A
FRIEND WHO IS A CPO BY THE NAME OF HANOCH BAR GOREN, HE WORKS AT GAPIM
LTD IN THE TELAVIV AREA. HE WOULD BE A GOOD SOURCE OF INFORMATION IN
ISRAEL. UNFORTUNATELY I SEEM TO HAVE MISPLACED THE NUMBER BUT I
WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF HE WERE TO CALL INFORMATION OR CHECK THE
PHONE BOOK. I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE MORE HELPFUL.

GOOD LUCK!
John-
In looking at the ISPO directory, there is a member in Jerusalum.

She will likely know of an orthotic facility there.

Dear John,
There a few places to go in Israel. In Tel Aviv its called Gapim Ltd.
at the Sheba Medical center located at Tel Hashomer. Phone #
3-635-2106. There are other places but I need to locate the names of
the businesses. The practitioner is Joseph Alush. He has a few offices
throughout the country. I'll try to locate a phone number but I'm sure
its listed in the phone book there. Hope this will help. Sy Rosen,
C.O.
