The new hospital in the Negev is hailed as a game-changer for public medicine in Israel. As a priority for Sheba Medical Center, it offers world-class medical services to residents of the south and addresses long-standing disparities in healthcare services in the region.
The hospital’s operation involves partners such as Leumit HMO and United, who stress its benefits both for medical care and economic development. Beer Sheva Mayor Rubik Danilovich, a key figure in its establishment, emphasizes the importance of swift planning and implementation to ensure its timely opening. He also highlights the need for training medical professionals and increasing opportunities in the healthcare sector.
While businesses in the north express frustration over the repeated closures of Safed for extended periods, this new hospital is seen as a vital step towards closing the gap in healthcare services and improving the overall quality of life for residents of the south. It is expected to improve healthcare, create job opportunities, stimulate innovation, and drive economic growth in the region.
