Read on for article
Australian Friends of Rambam as part of its Meet the Experts program are to host a live webinar in collaboration with the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce, Israel Embassy and Zionism Victoria to discuss MesenCure.
The Israeli Ministry of Health confirmed on Wednesday, August 11, that hospitals will begin treating critically ill COVID-19 patients with a new drug developed in Israel called “MesenCure“, manufactured by Bonus BioGroup. The decision was made after recent clinical trials with the experimental drug at Rambam, with good results: 14 out of 16 seriously ill COVID-19 patients treated with the drug were discharged from the hospital. More details about this are available here.
