Eating disorders can “lead to a failure to meet nutritional and metabolic needs, which cause severe impairment to psychosocial functioning,” he said.Professor Mordechai Shani, the former Dir. General of Sheba Medical Center, recently penned his autobiography, "Mr. Health."
Professor Shani, who was also the recipient of the vaunted Israel Prize in 2009, served as Director General of Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer for 33 years (1971-2004).
He assumed the position after his mentor, Chaim Sheba, who founded the medical facility, died in 1971.Prof. Shani was directly responsible for transforming the once ramshackle facility into the nation's largest and most dynamic medical center. Prof. Shani remains active at Sheba's Gertner Institute for Epidemiology and Health Policy Research.
