This was highlighted by the opening of the fully modern new surgical building at Shifa Hospital in Gaza. New projects were also completed in several government hospitals in Judea/Samaria, including the new physiotherapy, emergency and other service building in Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, and the new operating wing at Hebron Hospital. The Israel Government Health Services (IGHS) in Judea/Samaria and in Gaza have continued to develop their own services, and to encourage the development of non-government health services fostered by charitable organizations• New hospitals have been approved for construction and operation by non-governmental agencies in both areas. The new Hebron Hospital is under construction and will become operational in stages over the coming years. Emphasis continues to be placed on developing primary health care, especially in prevention of infectious diseases, pregnancy care, hygiene, and nutrition, in keeping with recommendations of the international health community. Great success has been achieved in control of dreaded infectious diseases including polio, and more recently measles, contributing to the improvement in infant and child health. Studies also show very great improvement in nutrition of infants. The year 1990-91 has been a difficult one in Israel, Judea/ Samaria and Gaza. Nevertheless, the health services have continued to provide needed health care, including preventive services and curative care. The following report documents this progress. 1.

  • General Hospital Beds in Israel
    Overview Date: 13 Kislev 5780, 11 December 2019 Written by: Aharon Blank, Flora Koch Davidovich | Approved by: Shelly Levy, Team Leader General hospital beds in Israel There are 45 general hospitals in Israel, a quarter of which are government-owned (nine government hospitals and two government–municipal hospitals).1 A general hospital is comprised of the following wards: internal medicine, intensive care, pediatrics, surgery, maternity wards, and intermediate care wards. Israel has a shortage of beds in general hospitals; for many years, various parties—including the State Comptroller—have noted the gap between the demands made of the system of general hospitals and the resources allocated to it, and they have called for long-term planning of the system of general hospitals in Israel.2 According to data from the Ministry of Health, in January 2019 there were 16,021 acute care beds in Israel—15,871 in general hospitals and 151 in geriatric hospitals. The rate of acute care beds in Israel has been declining since the late 1970s; as of 2019, it stands at 1.78 beds per 1,000 people, as compared to 1.88 in 2011 and 2.09 in 2005.3 Ministry of Health data from January 2019 on the geographic distribution of acute care beds indicates that nearly half are located in the central district (23.8%) and Tel Aviv (21.4%), while the remaining beds are in the Haifa district (15.2%), Jerusalem (14.5%), the northern district (12.7%) and the southern district (12.3%).4 A comparison of the rate of acute care beds in hospitals per 1,000 people in Israel to the rate in 34 OECD member states, based on data from 2017,5 indicates a decline in the rate of acute care beds in hospitals in OECD countries due to technological developments and the expansion of community healthcare services, among other things.

  • The History of the Star of David @ Soroka Medical
    1 J I I 11 The new Comprehensive Cancer Center at Soroka opening in 2018. THE HISTORY OF THE STAR OF DAVID @ SOROKAMEDICAL CENTER'S NEW COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER A legacy naming opportunity that will support the life-saving mission of Israel's most strategic and vital medical institution and promoteJewish history and identity worldwide. REACH FOR THE STARS Artist Marc Bennett has created a work of art that is destined to become a cultural icon. His TheHistoryoftheStarofDavid invites viewers to take an historical journey with this iconic symbol. A journey that brings to life a rich history of triumphs and struggles and offers hope and promise for our future survival - the perfect counterpart to Soroka's life-saving mission. Soroka is seeking to secure a donor to facilitate the acquisition of this large scale original of The History of the Star of David artwork at 16 x 24 feet, and make it the permanent focal point of the new Comprehensive Cancer Center's healing garden where it can be viewed and experienced by patients, staff, visitors and tourists. In addition to serving as a symbol of the strength and perseverance of the Jewish people, the placement of the piece at the Cancer Center will launch a partnership that will link the artwork to a philanthropic mission to support Soroka. This will create a continual revenue stream for the Cancer Center from merchandising of the artwork at the hospital, as well as from a percentage of all worldwide art sales, merchandising and licensing being donated to the Cancer Center in perpetuity from the project.

  • SSI PR 140527 Israeli Market VF
    PRESS RELEASE Strong performance reported by SuperSonic Imagine in Israel Aix-en-Provence, France, 27 May 2014 – In the context of the EUROSON Congress held in Tel Aviv, Israel from 26-28 May, SuperSonic Imagine (Euronext: SSI, FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, is proud to announce the strong performance of its Aixplorer® ultrasound system in the Israeli medical imaging market. SuperSonic Imagine has been marketing Aixplorer, the new generation ultrasound platform, in Israel since 2011 via its exclusive distributor, Inframed Ldt (http://www.inframed.co.il/), based in Lod. There are approximately twenty Aixplorer systems currently installed in various medical centers such as the Laniado Hospital in Netanya, the Ichilov Medical Center, the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, the Edith Wolfson Medical Center and the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv, the Hala Breast Clinic and the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, and the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashekelon. The Assuta Hospital in Tel Aviv has also recently ordered three Aixplorer ultrasound systems, in addition to the two already in use in the hospital’s radiology ward. As Pascal Dardelin, sales manager for the Middle-East, explains, “Aixplorer has been extremely successful among the Israeli scientific community owing to its cutting edge innovation, clinical benefits and ease of use. In the search for clinical reliability, Israeli doctors are always open to new technological innovations.” Aixplorer is the only ultrasound system that uses real-time ShearWaveTM Elastography (SWETM) and UltraFastTM Doppler. It is a new generation system that provides exceptional imaging quality thus helping physicians to better characterize lesions through the visualization and non-invasive measurement of tissue stiffness.
