The long-awaited new hospital in the Negev is being hailed as a game-changer for public medicine in Israel. This hospital, managed by Sheba Medical Center, is designed to prioritize patient care and offer world-class medical services to residents of the south.
The hospital’s establishment is seen as a Zionist mission that will address long-standing disparities in healthcare services in the region. Partners involved in its operation, including Leumit HMO and United, stress the benefits it will bring to the community both in terms of medical care and economic development.
Beer Sheva Mayor Rubik Danilovich, a key figure in the hospital’s establishment, emphasizes the need for swift planning and implementation to ensure its timely opening. He also highlights the importance of training medical professionals and increasing opportunities in the healthcare sector.
While businesses in the north are expressing frustration over the repeated closures of Safed for extended periods of time whenever an alarm is sounded, this new hospital has already begun to generate excitement among those living in the south. It is expected to not only improve healthcare in the Negev but also create job opportunities, stimulate innovation, and drive economic growth in the region. Overall, it is viewed as a vital step towards closing the gap in healthcare services and improving the overall quality of life for residents of Israel’s southern region.
