ISRAEL BEYOND THE HEADLINES

CONTROLLING CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

Israeli company BioControl Medical sold its first electrical stimulator to treat urinary incontinence to a US company for $50 million. Now, it is working on CardioFit, which uses electrical nerve stimulation to treat congestive heart failure. With nearly five million Americans presently affected by heart failure, and more than 400,000 new cases diagnosed yearly, the CardioFit is already generating a great deal of excitement as the first device with the potential to halt this deadly disease.

Report on the Israel Emergency Campaign

In 2006, Jewish communities across North America joined in raising Emergency funds to help Israel cope with the consequences of the bombardment of civilian centers by the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia from Lebanon and later from the Hamas militia in Gaza. The Jewish Federations of North America (formerly UJC) issued a report on the effect of the money in the daily life of Israelis three years after the conflict. Download the PDF here.
