Practical Nurses
Trained by Malben
It was a festive occasion when
33 practical nurses received
their diplomas recently at
Shaar Menashe, the Malben
hospital, east of Hadera. Malben
is the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee welfare program on be-
half of aged, ill and handi-
capped immigrants, maintained
in Israel with United Jewish
Appeal funds.
What makes these nurses
different from other practical
nurses is that their curriculum
included training in general
and geriatric psychiatry, and
the rehabilitation and care of
aged and chronic patients. Such
nurses are in critically short
supply in the expanding net-
work of psychatric institutions
in Israel.
Among the graduates of the
year - and - a - half course were
three male nurses from minor-
ity communities, two Arabs and
a Druze. Ismail Diab, 22-year-
old Army veteran from Rama,
in Western Galilee, has already
taken a job at Haifa's Roths-
child Hospital, one of the few
hospitals which has a ward for
chronic diseases. Abed Seror,
from Eilabun village near Naza-
reth, has gone to Asaf Harofeh
Hospital to take a full nursing
course and will ultimately spe-
cialize as a surgery nurse.
Ibrahim Mohammed Nazer, from
a village in the Arab Triangle,
will work at the Shaar Menashe
Hospital.
Most of the graduates have
taken jobs at Kfar Menashe,
which once cared mainly for
residents of Malben's own old
age homes.
