MEET THE FESSH MEMBER COUNTRIES – Israel
In the early 60's, a few members of the Israeli Orthopaedic Society and the Israeli Plastic Surgery Society developed a special interest in surgery of the hand. Professor Isidor Kessler opened the first service for surgery of the hand at the Kaplan Medical Center in the city of Rehovot. After 1967 during the wars many upper limb injuries needed efficient and professional care. To deal with the injured, the Ministry of Health founded five medical units dedicated to surgery of the hand.
