Medicine and health, which directly concern the medical corps as well as treatment
Medical in the IDF:
A. Launch of a genome-based "Health City" at Sheba Medical Center
In Tel Hashomer:

The city of health, also known as the "city of the genome", is setting the stage

Comprehensive genomics about the patient. The city of the genome is based on an array
Uniform information that is accessible to the attending physician and contains the entire set of data

Patient questionnaires and more that are processed and analyzed into insights
Accurate in real time.
Prof. Itzik Kreis, director of Sheba Medical Center, sees
The launch of the "City of Health" project marks the beginning of a revolution. According to him,

And technologies but also culture, language, treatment approaches, and most importantly

third. Brigadier General Dr. Tarif Bader represents Israel at the United Nations

By an IDF officer in uniform in an official speech at the UN. It happened as an officer
The Chief Medical Officer, Brigadier General Dr. Triff Bader, was sent to attend the conference

Israel at the UN.


All three events are Israeli achievements recorded in months
The latest in the field of health, and in all of them are leading and involved doctors,
Senior researchers and officers in the medical corps from the past and present. There is no doubt
Because corps officers continue to shape the health care system in the country
Israel in action and teaching.
The challenges of the military and the general population place the medical corps as a body
A professional who promotes medicine, takes care of the health of those serving in the IDF
And provides a dedicated and appropriate medical service. It is important that medical treatment,
The corps' instructions and decisions in the corps will be knowledge-based and will be anchored in research
Attackers. The academic publications in the journal "Military Medicine"
Are designed to serve as a dedicated platform for these needs, and are sometimes stone
The first way for researchers in the corps in their long-term trajectory. Therefore, there is
See also the Journal as a central and important initiation platform for development
Writing around research doing and scientific research. However, continue
The success of the Journal - the only one of its kind in Israel that is currently published in print
