Israel Paper Mill PresentPlaquetoMorris Lieberman
Hebrew Medical Journal Editor
Praises Advances in Israel's Health Now Undergoing at Dinner of Histadrut Campaign
"Israel medical achievements est problems. This is based on Expansion Move
have transformed within a few "unselective immigration which

decades a notoriously back-
ward region of the world into
an oasis of health and well-
being."
This is the report of Dr.
Moses Einhorn, editor of the
Hebrew Medical Journal, who
in the current issue of the pub-
lication relates his findings
during a visit to Israel this
summer as a participant in the
30th anniversary celebration of
the journal.
Dr. Einhorn relates that
since Israel's establishment,
the state's 63 hospitals and
4,626 beds have been expanded
to 102 hospitals with 12,254.
He also states that health con-
ditions among immigrants have
been raised and health stan-
dards greatly improved.
The editor cited Kupat Ho-
lirn, voluntary health organiza-
tion affiliated with Histadrut,
as "performing important social
functions on a national scale.
It is an unique phenomenon
not only relative to Israel but
to the outside world."
"The doctor population ratio
in Israel—about one physician
serving 460 people—is one of
the highest in the world, and
compares to 710 in the United
States," he writes.
Dr. Einhorn also writes that
Israel has made great strides
in eradicating the menace of
tuberculosis, malaria and other
tropical diseases and polio. The
infant mortality rate also has
dropped appreciably.
The doctor cites mental
health as one of Israel's great-

prevailed until 1952 and the
legacy of Nazi atrocities."
To combat the problem, Is-
rael's Ministry of Health main-
tains labor villages for male
and female mental patients
and a number of rehabilitation
centers, and there are a num-
ber of mental hygiene clinics
in the cities and colonies. The
problem of hospitalizing men-
tal patients, however, is one
of the gravest problems Israel
faces, th% report says.
Dr. Einhorn, in outlining spe-
cial services to the Arab popu-
lation, says that a tuberculosis
hospital has been established
at Nazareth and mobile medi-
cal units are maintained for
Bedouin tribes in the Negev.
"Once normal conditions. are
restored in the Middle East,"
Dr. Einhorn observes, "the
experience of Israel's _Arab
minority is likely to be trans-
lated on a regional scale to
revolutionize one of the most
notorious disease areas in the
world."

In 1953, a new era of in-
dustrial progress began for
Israel, with the completion of
the Middle East's first major
paper mill, in Hadera.
Today, only five years later,
American Israeli Paper Mills
Ltd., with assets of over
$7,500,000 and more than 200
employees, produces about one
third of the nation's total
paper requirements — about
16,000 tons.
A $10,000,000 expansion pro-
gram is now under way to
satisfy the growing demand for
paper and paper products in
Israel, with construction of a
second paper making unit,
scheduled for completion at
the end of 1959.
The new facilities would
raise the mill's productive ca-
pacity to approximately 37,000
tons—equal to about three quar-
ters of Israel's total present an-
nual paper consumption.
Coincident with the expan-
sion program is the construc-
tion of Israel's first paper
mill to supply about one-half
of the company's mill pulp
requirements from amply abun-
dant local agricultural waste
materials.
At present, the operations of
American Israeli Paper Mills
Ltd. afford annual savings of
about $1,000,000 in foreign cur-
rency to the Israeli economy.
Upon completion of the entire
expansion program, by the end
of 1959, it is estimated that
such savings would amount to
approximately $4,000,000 an-
nually.
Employment would be
doubled, bringing the total
labor force to over 400, and a
number of allied industries are
already planned to supply
American Israeli Paper Mills
Ltd. with additional technical
and chemical requirements.
It is estimated that the State
would gain new income of ap-
proximately $1,200;000 from
the use of rat= materials in
the pulping process outlined
above. These materials were
previously considered waste.
