Last year, The Fellowship approved a grant for Galilee Medical Center for emergency equipment. This month, staff visited the hospital in Nahariya to see the 300 electric beds and mobile X-ray machine bought with our assistance. Galilee Medical Center is also home to a protective hospitalization area, which The Fellowship also helped set up, that can be used in the event of an emergency like drone or rocket attacks.
During the visit, Fellowship staff visited operating rooms where the mobile X-ray machine is used on various surgeries that require advanced intervention. The new hospital beds went to the protected hospitalization sector which hosts two Internal Medicine Departments. Last week, when the Iran crisis threatened to escalate, Galilee Medical Center was fully equipped to continue operating if Israel were to be attacked.
Hospital representatives said that the new beds and X-ray machine don’t just increase the capabilities of the medical center in both routine and emergency cases; the quality of care for patients that need it the most are also improving.
Galilee Medical Center is one of the foremost hospitals in northern Israel and played a pivotal role in providing care to those wounded by Hezbollah terrorists striking from Lebanon during the war. Operating in emergency situations has become expected of medical centers in Israel. The Fellowship and our generous supporters help them reach this new standard of care and response.
