Yad Sarah from a neighborhood gemach into a nationwide home care equipment-lending organization with 72 branches and 4,200 volunteers by 1995. (As of 2013, the organization has over 100 branches and 6,000 volunteers, and saves the government an estimated $400 million annually in hospitalization expenses.) After his death, Mann's son, Professor Jonathan Mann, became a member of the Yad Sarah presidium. Other activities and affiliations Mann was a member of 14 government committees convened on various aspects of health care, serving as chairman of five of them – thus wielding significant influence on health care legislation. Among those committees were the Supreme Medical Council and the Advisory Council for Matters of Preventative Medicine. In 1970 Mann was accepted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. In 1994 Manfred Wasserman conducted an oral history project with Mann, taping the former director general for more than 17 hours and compiling his memories in the book Kalman Jacob Mann: Reflections on a life in health care (Rubin Mass). Personal Mann married his first wife, Sylvia, in London in 1940. They had four children. He married his second wife, Bluma, on January 16, 1995. Kalman and Bluma Mann were seriously injured in two automobile accidents, one on April 24, 1996, and a second on February 28, 1997. Mann died of his injuries from the second accident on March 14, 1997, at the Hadassah Medical Center at Ein Kerem.
