Laniado Hospital is maintained by generous donations only,
help us continue to save lives The unique hospital is founded on the requirements of Halacha.

Laniado Hospital was founded in 1976 by the Rabbi of Cloisenburg - the late Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam, who survived the Holocaust. After he was injured and recovered, he took it upon himself to build a hospital based on a team of doctors and nurses who have faith in the God and therefore are able to heal people. Laniado Hospital is named after two brothers, Alphonse and Yaakov Avraham Laniado, who came from the city of Aleppo in Syria. The brothers dedicated their money after their death to opening a hospital in the Land of Israel, which was given the name "Laniado". It never shuts down and treats every person regardless of race, religion or nationality. Laniado Hospital has over 400 beds and more than 45 hospitalization wards, medical units, institutes, laboratories and administrative and medical departments. The Hospital operates outpatient clinics serving the residents of the area. Among them are clinics for gynecology, pediatrics, orthopedics, surgery, neurology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, cardiology and more. Over 180,000 people are treated in Laniado every year. Laniado is the only hospital located in the Netanya Area, and it provides its services to approximately 350,000 people. In 1976, the medical center opened its doors with a maternity department. One by one, more departments were opened: internal medicine, ophthalmology, pediatrics, surgery, otolaryngology, intensive care, gynecology, dialysis, hematology, gastroenterology, oncology, catheterization unit, orthopedics and more. The medical center implements the most innovative methods. Due to the equipment, the tools, the expertise of the staff and their skill, the Hospital have earned the name of the Sanz Medical Center as one of the leading medical centers in Israel. The medical center was built mainly from donations from benefactors who contributed and contribute generously to the building, the equipment, the instruments and the multiple budgets that its operators need for its daily maintenance. To ensure the regular flow of funds, friend associations headed by the "International Board of Trustees" were established around the world.

Exciting record in Laniado: When 5 pairs of twins and a triplet met in the maternity ward🙌

An exciting record in our maternity ward – no less than five pairs of twins are being treated with us these days, in addition to a sweet triplet born at week 33! 💕
The premature babies, born at weeks 31–36 weighing between 1,400 and 2,900 grams, receive dedicated and close care from the maternity ward team, doctors, nurses and a paramedical team who work around the clock to ensure their health and release them home as quickly as possible.

The entire complex is equipped with advanced medical technologies, a wide professional team, and designated living spaces within the maternity ward for parents who stay with their babies for extended periods.

Giving much more to breastfeeding women

In honor of International Breastfeeding Week, we are happy to launch the new Breastfeeding Forum at Laniado – an advanced and unique medical model in Israel, which places breastfeeding where it deserves to be: as an integral part of gynecological and neonatal medicine.
What does this mean in practice?

The forum team includes gynecologists, a neonatologist, lactation consultants, a midwife and a clinical pharmacist, all of whom have undergone specialized training in breastfeeding medicine.

Alongside the permanent team, supporting experts also participate: a breast radiologist, an ENT doctor who performs tongue-tied surgery, and representatives from the maternity and women's departments.

It is important to note that the forum is not only intended for mothers - postpartum women who come to the various departments or units at the hospital for any reason and need support in the field of breastfeeding will also receive a professional, personalized response, even in complex medical situations.
Everyone, without exception, thinks first of you - as a mother, as a midwife, and as a woman.

The forum is headed by Dr. Danit Shoval Ashkenazi, a family medicine specialist and gynecologist who brings with her a humane, up-to-date, and knowledge-based medical approach to breastfeeding 👩‍⚕️

The forum provides a response both during and after hospitalization - as part of the services of the Fourth Trimester Clinic, and allows for personal advice, medical support, and professional guidance - exactly when needed 🤱

The data speaks for itself: 🧠
According to the Ministry of Health’s National Health and Nutrition Survey – 90% of women in Israel want to breastfeed, but only 50% manage to persevere. We are here to change that.

Because at Bleniado – we don’t just care.
We listen, we understand – and we work together. For you 💙

✨End of a year of meaningful and exciting service at Laniado✨
Last week, we held a dignified and exciting graduation party for the 24 service girls who completed their year of national service at the hospital.

The girls worked throughout the year in the various departments, caringly and devotedly accompanying the patients and staff - and became real housemaids 💙
The event took place in the presence of the girls and their parents, in a warm and respectful atmosphere, and included personal greetings from the department directors, a personal gift from their department, and an additional gift from the hospital management in recognition of their significant contribution.

The service girls received professional and sensitive guidance from the director of nursing, Ms. Shmarit Roni, and from the dedicated coordinators - Ms. Daniel Atia (who accompanied the beginning of the year) and Ms. Shlomit Ratzabi (who continued the guidance later and will continue to accompany next year as well).

The mark they left will remain at Laniado - in hearts and in deeds❤️

'Aneurysm' - It sounds scary, but the truth may surprise you! 🙃

Renewal of the Urology Department in Laniado – a combination of advanced technology and world-class expertise 🌎

We are proud to share another important step in the development of our Urology Department: the introduction of one of the most advanced laser devices in the world for performing HoLEP surgery, which is now performed in Laniado by Dr. Yehonatan Modai – an endourologist who has undergone extensive training at UCLA University in the USA 🌍

📍 HoLEP surgery is intended for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia – a common phenomenon that makes it difficult to urinate and may lead to complications.

During the surgery, the excess prostate tissue is removed precisely, minimally invasively and without incisions, using a powerful laser – and the result: effective treatment, rapid recovery, less bleeding and less pain 💪

🧑‍⚕️ Dr. Modai, who serves as a senior physician in the department, has now begun performing these advanced surgeries at Laniado Hospital as well – thus allowing patients to undergo an innovative procedure in a public setting, without the need for private medicine and high costs.

As Dr. Matan Mekaiten, director of the department, said:
"We in the urology department are in a development boom – recruiting leading personnel and introducing innovative medical technologies for the benefit of our patients."

This move is much more than technological progress – it represents our commitment to combining first-class medical expertise, world-class equipment, and a professional team with a huge heart.

Because when medicine advances, the quality of life of patients also improves. 👌
