The Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital
For the first-time ever, Israel’s largest Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital is fully activiated with patients aboveground now belowground during wartime.
Northern Israel is currently confronting one of its most perilous and heartbreaking realities. Rambam’s three level underground parking structure – the Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital – is now fully operational and receiving patients from unfortified area hospitals. This 2,000-bed facility is designed to operate under the threats of conventional, biological and chemical attacks and is the designated care provider for injured IDF soldiers and civilians.
Rambam is a vital national security resource and is home to the only Level 1 trauma center in the region. Rambam stands ready, but we need your support to ensure our operating rooms can run 24/7.
The hospital still needs additional, portable medical equipment, such as:
- Ventilators,
- X-Ray machines,
- Ultrasound machines,
- Patient monitors,
- Infusion pumps and more.
We cannot do it without your help.
