The rabbinate of Vilno and the Jewish community have initiated a strong protest movement against the intention of the municipality to close down the only Jewish hospital in the city. The hospital is important not only because it treats the Jewish ill, but also because, in view of discriminations, against Jews in medical institutions, it offers the only opportunity for training young Jewish doctors.
The Jewish Doctors’ Association will cooperate in making a vigorous protest against the closing of the institution.
