Responding to an increasing number of requests from staff at HMO, other academic institutions in Israel and abroad and the general public, NMRU established its Resource Unit to provide information on a range of natural therapies as well as reports and publications on its own program.

Currently NMRU receives many requests from the public questioning the safety and effectiveness of CAM therapies, as well as medical staff at Hadassah Hospital interested in using CAM therapies for the benefit of their patients.
