Dr. Menachem Fisher Recipient of ISOG Ob/Gyn Award

On January 9, 2020, the Israel Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ICOG) held its annual conference and conferred upon Dr. Menachem Fisher a prestigious certificate of appreciation. Dr. Fisher, viewed as a visionary, has through his involvement, contributed considerably to patients, colleagues, and to the advancement of the fields of ob/gyn and fertility in Israel.

Returning to Israel in 1986, Dr. Fisher chose to settle down in the Galilee where he devoted himself to women's health in the Galilee, all the while recruiting senior gynecologists from all over the country to join him in this mission.

Dr. Fisher established the Society for Community Gynecology and served as its head for many years. He made other physicians and scientists aware of this important field of medicine and as such is being awarded a certificate of appreciation by the ICOG.
