Beilinson Hospital Reverses Decision, Restores Rabin's Name to Logo After Public Outcry

The Rabin Medical Center has reversed its decision to remove the name of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin from its logo, following a significant public backlash. Dr. Erez Barnboim, the hospital's director, issued an apology to those offended by the initial move, stating there was no intention to erase Rabin's name, alter the medical center's name, or disrespect his legacy.

Barnboim explained that the hospital is responsive to criticism and capable of correcting mistakes. He has ordered that the name 'Rabin Medical Center' be clearly reinstated in the logo, emphasizing that it represents their identity and heritage. He added that in the current period, especially around the holidays, it is important to choose listening, unity, and hope, expressing belief that the institution will emerge stronger and more united from this incident.

The initial decision to remove Rabin's name from the logo of the Beilinson and Hasharon hospitals had sparked public controversy. The hospital's new logo, now featuring Rabin's name again, was shared along with the announcement.
