Significant Rise in the Amount of Activity in the Home -hospital Service

More than half a million Israelis were aided by Yad Sarah services during the past year. Uri Lupolianski, the founder and president of Yad Sarah, (in the photo - presenting the data on the expansion of the home-hostpital network. "This year, again, there was a rise in the number of requests to Yad Sarah. We are doing our best to respond to all the requests. I thank all the volunteers and donors who enable the expansion of this project". The spokesman of Yad Sarah, David Rotner, summarizes the expanded activity in the past year: Over 3,000 units of home care were added this year to the home-hospital project, which enables more Israelis to come home earlier from the hospital to the best and most suitable place for recovery and rehabilitation – at home with their families. The steep rise of requests in the home-hospital units expresses the growing awareness of the public of the crowded conditions in hospitals and fear of the resulting infections. In the past year, Yad Sarah volunteers lent out 322,000 medical utensils in 107 branches. In preparation for the holidays, Yad Sarah purchased 1,300 new wheelchairs and pairs of crutches in order to provide for the growing demand. The items borrowed most are wheelchairs and bath chairs – 580,000 items – and 42,500 milk pumpers for nursing mothers. The steepest rise, as stated, were in the responses to the mounting requests for home care equipment – approximately 8,000 people were aided by electric beds, levers for the transfer of patients and special armchairs, a rise of 30% in comparison to the previous year. Uri Lupolianski, founder and president of Yad Sarah: "This year, again, there was a rise in the number of requests to Yad Sarah. We are doing our best to respond to all the requests. I thank all the volunteers and donors who enable the expansion of this project. The home-hospital network of Yad Sarah makes it the biggest hospital in Israel – at home. The amount of money saved by the state treasury – approximately a billion and a half shekel" "Electric beds enable hospital patients to be released from hospitals and continue their recovery at home", says Moshe Cohen, CEO of Yad Sarah. "The steep rise in the number of requests expresses the mounting crowdedness in hospitals and the desire of the patients to be come home early and avoid contagion". Last year, Yad Sarah opened a new branch in Yerucham, and moved to new buildings in Rosh Haayin, Shoham, and Dimona. The "Yad Tomech" (Helping Hand) Service, which helps family members who take care of relatives at home, expanded its activities and opened branches in Kiryat Shmone, Kfar Saba, Modiin and Ashdod. There are altogether approximately 6,000 volunteers who worked more than a million hours to provide various services to the Israeli public, all with the help of donations More data to summarize the past year: The drivers of the "nechoniot" which transport invalids who are confined to wheelchairs made 111,000 transports throughout the country. Yad Sarah volunteers made 66,000 visits to sick people confined to their homes. The professional staff in the Display and Consultation Centers served 15,000 customers. Volunteer lawyers in the Legal Consultation Service for the Eldery – Yad Riva – gave legal advice and aid to approximately 8,500 elderly people. In the 5 rehabilitation centers in the country 26,000 treatment days for the handicapped were conducted. Workshop volunteers fixed 170,000 medical instruments and thus saved Yad Sarah thousands of shekels. This year Yad Sarah is celebrating 40 years of activity. During all these years of activity Yad Sarah aided every second family in Israel.
