The child had a severe deformity of the foot (blockage of the foot). We turned to the Ichilov clinic. We were met by Dr. Weintrub, who performed an operation to correct the position of the bones of the foot and joints. I am very grateful to both the clinic and the doctor for the fact that the worst is over.
