Soroka Medical Center was honored to welcome Ambassador Dimiter Tzantchev, Head of the European Union Delegation to the State of Israel, following the recent missile attack on our hospital.

During his visit to the damaged wards, Ambassador Tzantchev met with Soroka’s Director General, Prof. Shlomi Codish, expressing his deep admiration for the resilience, dedication, and humanity of our medical staff, standing in solidarity with Soroka and the entire community.

He reflected: “I was shocked to hear about the destruction here. Only thanks to extreme caution was a major disaster averted. Soroka provides innovative health services to all residents of the Negev — regardless of religion, race, or gender. I heard inspiring stories of heroism, solidarity, and human resilience.”

Even in the face of devastation, we remain steadfast in our humanitarian mission to provide lifesaving care to the people of the Negev. Rebuilding with strength and resilience.
