Medical Association, as President of the World Medical Association. (Read More)

Petition against Dr. Blachar:
Counter-petition:
Dear Colleague,
Anti-Israel activity and campaigns in the medical press are unfortunately nothing new; however they have
reached a new "low" in the last few months. The most recent manifestation of the anti-Israel phenomenon
infecting the medical world is a letter (attached) spearheaded by Dr. Derek Summerfield and signed by 725
physicians, "publicly protest[ing] and appeal[ing] against the recent appointment of Dr. Yoram Blachar,
longstanding President of the Israeli Medical Association, as President of the World Medical Association."
