(Hai Fe) - The Haifa Municipality petitioned the High Court against the State of Israel's intention to move the Carmel Hospital to Kiryat Ata. The Carmel Hospital is managed by the general. The state intends to move it to Kiryat Ata, even though it is a very important medical institution, which serves the residents of Haifa and especially Residents of the Carmel Ridge, including Isfia and Daliyat El Carmel.
The petition in its entirety for your perusal (Link to the file):
The response of the Ministry of Health:
Carmel Hospital must move from its current location due to several reasons - the main ones being the inability of the hospital to grow in its current location and the fact that it is not protected, and the effects of this as we learned during the war.
In addition - many patients who come to the hospitals in Haifa come from the Kiryat region, so the relocation of the hospital, while increasing it by more than two times, will create more availability in the hospitals that will remain in Haifa, which are also expected to grow.
The Ministry of Health is working to increase the availability of the service and improve its distribution to the entire population of the Haifa metropolis in such a way that the availability of health services to the residents of the Kiryats will increase while maintaining the service to the residents of Haifa. In accordance with Government Resolution 1231, which was already passed in 2022, it was decided to relocate a hospital from the city of Haifa to Kiryat Ata, as part of the overall plan for the development of Haifa Bay and the region.
The decision to relocate the Carmel Hospital was made after a thorough examination and systematic and comprehensive staff work, which included consultations, meetings and tours with interested parties, including the mayor at the time and the CEO of the Municipality of Haifa.
The decision was made after the professionals were convinced that the relocation and expansion of the Carmel Hospital, owned by the General Health Insurance Fund, would have advantages as part of a strategic move to increase the supply of services in the north, which is expected to lead to the expansion of community services and emergency medicine, and to the improvement of the fields of medical innovation, and given the condition of the Carmel Hospital - also to establish a new and protected hospital. It should be noted that as part of the overall commitment of the health funds, it has committed to maintain all of its community services in the city of Haifa.
Therefore, the municipality's claims are devoid of any basis.
Consider the religious women of Carmel who do not drive, they can only go to the Carmel hospital because it is the closest, they have no access to reach Kiryat Ata, it is really a significant problem if that is the case, there are no hospitals at all in Dalia and Usufia.
Please do not resent the lives of the women in the Carmel area anymore.
It would not be humane
Why should I as a Haifaite go to Kiryat when I have a hospital 5 minutes from home??? In my opinion, these are real estate considerations and nothing more. If there is no hospital in Kiryat, build another one there and leave Carmel Hospital in its current location.
My late mother survived the holocaust but did not survive the failure of the Carmel hospital, God forbid... It is appropriate for me not to leave or transfer anywhere... The staff of doctors is very low in diagnosis and providing "adequate" treatment, including emergency medicine using the copy paste method.
There is no need to check... findings built into the system, just paste in the release letter:
"Heart lungs equal air intake..."
No worries"…
"There is no sensitivity to the touch"...
"Soft belly"…
Hell, who "checked" anyway...
Repeated complaints on this matter to the attention of the director of the Carmel screening in real time "that the findings" were not checked, fell on deaf ears.
More than that can't happen anymore, stated in Moshe's (deceased) release letter
"Normal uterus"…
You also need to know how to "paste" correctly...
What an excuse! If we learned anything in the war, it is that the Kiryat is not a protected area.
in me. Patients *Carmel* is in the wrong location. from the day of its establishment. Tel Mana Street is an intimate street in the vicinity of Yerak, which veterans of Haifa remember as a unique place to live. But after the land is owned. The mythological organization established the hospital in its location and caused a residential damage zone. Yes and yes it is true to build me. Patients in the Carmel Mountains area in a location where it is possible to build an additional building in the complex for a medical center.
I am shocked at the thought of transferring Carmel Hospital to Kiryat!!!!!!!
The state does not have the money to build another hospital????? On the contrary - there is an urgent need to build another hospital!!!!!!
May the state take some money from the millions it pours into the free food!!!!!!!! And build a hospital in Kiryat!!!!!!
Anyone who covets the land of Carmel Hospital can rest easy.
This building will remain there and they will rent it to clinics and as an emergency room for the rest of the general operation.
It is likely that they will sell the Elhanan 4 building in the center of Carmel and move the clinics to the mansion.
Those who wish to "get rid" of their sick loved one, let them be sent to urgent care/Mion Carmel...
Mother (deceased) was admitted to the emergency room due to severe respiratory distress. Until... she was "attached" to an oxygen mask. I was alerted to signs of fainting and distress signals. It turned out that the brother did not open the oxygen supply faucet in the wall.
"It happens that we forget"… he responded casually.
"How long did you think mom would live (92)... don't forget she was old!"
That's how the ward doctor reacted with rudeness and a terrible insensitivity, when I found my mother in her bed in the morning without life, without noticing.
As far as I'm concerned, Carmel Hospital can disappear from reality without any regrets!
Please remind me what is the name of the municipal hospital that the bankrupt municipality sold to the State of Israel today? on Golomb Street.
I read the petition.
it's all nonsense.
Everything will be rejected outright due to lag.
It's a shame they wasted NIS 2,021 as a toll payment.
The municipality continues and claims, without batting an eyelid, that Bnei Zion is a municipal hospital. She also claims that any such action must be done in a tender. Why then did she sell Bnei Zion without a tender?
It is evident from the petition, that the municipalities were offended, that the Israeli government "didn't care about them" and wonder and wonder - it is a governor, and carries out long-term plans, for the benefit of the citizens of Israel.
A combination has probably already been sewn on the desired structure of Carmel Hospital and businessmen, lawyers and all kinds of interested parties are involved..
Carmel Hospital is a nuisance. I suggest moving it to Dania.
This thing must be moved from Haifa. It is not a hospital, but far from it. He must be transferred as soon as possible. The damages caused to patients from this institution are indescribable. Come on, move at lightning speed!
Why transfer????
Another hospital should be built!
And again it looks like how the north is neglected.
The plight of the hospitals is terrible.
Misunderstanding. All the Kiryat patients will go to the new hospital in Kiryat Ata, which means that from Haifa there will be a load of a population of over 100,000 inhabitants today, and in the future double that. So no problem at all. Bnei Zion and Rambam will remain in Haifa
Hello Yael, you are wrong. There is an increase not only in the kidneys. There is no doubt that Kiryat needs a hospital. The load that you think will decrease from the hospitals in Haifa will not decrease because there is a huge increase in the population for whom the most accessible hospital will certainly be when the Lincoln Hills are built and the hospital will be connected directly to the Freud-Flyman road. We are talking about a huge addition of 100 people in the western slopes of Haifa from huge neighborhoods such as the Lincoln slopes, Navot Peres 2-3, the continued growth of the Carmel Castle. and the evacuation of construction in all the western neighborhoods of the city - an addition the size of Kiryat Ata.
I don't understand this stupid idea.
If there is no medical hospitalization facility in Kiryat, establish one.
Carmel serves a wide population and its transfer will create severe pressure on Rambam and Bnei Zion
This is the worst thing if they pass it very well that the Haifa municipality does not give up
The Carmel Hospital serves the Carmel Castle (30,000 and want to increase up to 80,000 in the coming decades)
Carmel Hospital serves Atlit (11,000 and will grow to 17,000 in the next decade)
A hospital serves the western neighborhoods in Haifa (an addition of 30,000 in the next decade from the construction of Nav Peres and the evacuation of Binui)
The hospital serves the Carmel Ridge neighborhoods, which add about 5000 residents in Tama 38 and in new construction
What is happening here is a disaster.
An environment that adds tens of thousands of residents will be forced to enter Haifa in traffic jams to the already busy and crowded Rambam.
Bnei Zion Hospital is completely overloaded and manages to cope only thanks to sharing the enormous load with Carmel Hospital.
What is happening in Haifa is a weak leadership that allows the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Health to trample Haifa Health in order to politically fulfill the promise to build a hospital in Kiryat Ata instead of building a new hospital in Kiryat Ata in addition to the ones in Haifa.
It is a population of 1.1 million residents in the Haifa metropolis and its surroundings - it is certainly justified to have 4 hospitals there and to establish a new hospital in Kiryat Ata without the short blanket games, so pulling from here to there...
We must stop the destruction and harm in Haifa.
right!
I hope they will review the discussions in the court.
