Former Israeli PM Sharon to be Moved to Long-Term Care Facility


By VOA News
25 May 2006

The Jerusalem hospital that has been treating former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon says the former leader is to be transferred to a long-term care facility.

The Hadassah Hospital says the 78-year-old Sharon is to be moved next week to the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Hospital, near Tel Aviv.  

Sharon has been comatose since suffering a massive stroke January fourth.  In April, the Israeli Cabinet declared him permanently incapacitated.  He was replaced by Ehud Olmert.

Medical experts say Mr. Sharon is in a vegetative state, and the chances that he will ever regain consciousness are slim.

Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.
