🚨After nearly six weeks of operating a fully functioning underground hospital, Shaare Zedek Medical Center is beginning its gradual return to normal activity, following updated guidance from Israel’s health authorities.
More than 400 patient beds were relocated underground. Thousands of patients were treated. And over 1,600 babies were safely born, protected from the threats above.
Now, departments including maternity and delivery rooms are moving back to their original spaces, marking a hopeful step forward while remaining ready for anything ahead.
As Prof. Ofer Merin shared, even in the most challenging days, the hospital’s teams continued to show extraordinary strength, compassion, and dedication.
Because even in times of uncertainty, we continue to change, deliver, and save lives 💙🇮🇱
