And now, Israel, defending itself from attack in the south, must also be prepared for any attack from the north. During the Second Lebanon War in 2006, the Bnai Zion Medical Center was on the frontlines as Haifa was attacked. Outstanding medical care was provided to more than 500 physically and psychologically injured victims of the Hezbollah rockets. The last rocket of the 34-day barrage that exploded just meters from the hospital proved how vulnerable the Medical Center is to enemy attack, and underscored the urgency and need to build a new protected underground emergency department. . EMERGENCY APPEAL: CONFRONTING THE CHALLENGES OF WAR YOUR DONATION HELPS SAVE LIVES TODAY During war or times of attack, the hospital treats not only victims of the attacks, but it also provides medical care to several hundred in-patients and others seeking emergency care, and has the only rehabilitation department in the north. And, as a designated military hospital, the Medical Center is prepared at all times to treat the brave, injured soldiers of the IDF. Emergency preparedness is crucial and help is needed now , so that patients and sta will be protected when rockets fall once again. The Bnai Zion Medical Center is a municipal, government-funded general hospital with 450 beds that provides exemplary medical care and services to a diverse and growing population. A leading teaching and research hospital whose innovations have received international recognition, it receives limited government funding and outside contributions are necessary to further many of its programs. The Medical Center treats without regard UNDERGROUND PROTECTION AGAINST NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL ATTACK: Hospital in a Hospital The new protected emergency department will be a facility of 1,000 square meters (approximately 10,800 square feet) with thirty beds, two trauma rooms and six professional clinics, where rocket attack victims will receive initial treatment. After they are stabilized, they will be transferred to the protected hospitalization unit range of services for patients who will require longerterm care and whose protection must be assured. The new protected emergency department must be completed in the coming months, at a cost of $8 million, half of which has already been raised. themselves on providing the highest level of professional expertise with a personal and humane touch to every single patient. The strength and efficacy of the Medical Center— and the safety and wellbeing of the residents of the north —depends on the completion of this initiative. Every contribution will help enhance the safety and THE NEED IS URGENT! Israel’s enemies do not discriminate: Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Baha’i in Haifa and in the northern communities are all equally at risk. Every life is precious. Please help the Medical Center keep everyone protected. Thank you for contributing generously to this appeal. You can also donate online at bnaizion.org
