One of the world’s most cutting-edge medical institutions of its sort will be the hospital.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Professor Itshak Kreis, director of Sheva Medical Center, laid the cornerstone for the new Edmund and Lily Safra Children’s Hospital on Monday.
Sheva said the newly expanded hospital, which will be built alongside existing facilities, will make him one of the most technologically advanced children’s hospitals in the world. In addition to incorporating new medical technologies into treatment regimens, Shiva said the hospital will focus on proprietary early genetic testing, detection, and treatment of rare diseases.
In addition to treating tens of thousands of children in Israel, Safra Children’s Hospital also serves the needs of hundreds of seriously ill children in the West Bank and Gaza each year, a significant number of whom suffer from a rare genetic disease.
“The construction of the new Safra Children’s Hospital is a great achievement and a wonderful mitzvah to help these young people. I am sure you will do so with great pride and you will succeed. I truly believe it will heal,” Netanyahu said.
“Safra’s new futuristic children’s hospital has so many never-before-seen features, from a new pediatric burns and eating disorders department to a department dedicated to the specialized care of children with genetic disorders. It will include new and unique divisions,” he adds. Kreis. “More importantly, we are a hospital for peace, a beacon of hope not only for the children of Israel but also for the children of the region, including the youth of the Palestinian Authority, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. There are already treats. That is Shiva’s DNA. “
