JERUSALEM (UPI) -- An Israeli Arab woman was appointed a department
head at Israel's Rambam Hospital, becoming the first female Muslim in
the country to hold such a position.
A statement released by Rambam Hospital in Haifa Tuesday said Dr.
Suheir Assady will head the hospital's nephrology department.
A resident of Nazareth, Assady completed her studies and internship in
1993 at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, and began her residency
in the department of internal medicine at Rambam Hospital.
Since, she has held many senior positions in the hospital's dialysis
and nephrology departments, and also continues with clinical and
research studies.
When asked to comment on her appointment, Assady said she views her
work as a lifelong mission, the statement said.
