Our teams, in the community and in the hospitals, continue to work constantly to ensure high-quality, safe and continuous medical response, even under the conditions dictated by the security situation.

I join in Yehuda's praise, I would like to mention the professionalism, responsibility, cooperation within the team and between departments, the good atmosphere and the willingness to help as much as possible and always with a smile, all the teams and departments in which we were treated, and the level of cleanliness and the quality of the meals... A huge thank you 🤝 What is recommended to be improved is a comfortable chair for the night companion.... Thank you very much
I would like to wish a lot of strength to the lovely staff of Carmel Hospital, the doctors, nurses, and administrators, especially Gal from MRI. May you be strong.
