The Department of Emergency Medicine provides urgent and emergency treatment to patients arriving at the Emergency Room with symptoms, illnesses or injuries requiring immediate, sometimes lifesaving treatment.  A patient arriving at the Emergency Room is given a comprehensive physical examination by a nurse and physician, who perform further tests, according to his condition.

In such a critical area, the Medical Center ensures that the department’s nurses are among the most experienced in Mayanei Hayeshua.   Despite the large turnover of patients, the staff ensures that there are beds available for every patient likely to arrive, at any time, 24 hours a day.

The department’s physicians specialize in a range of medical disciplines, and are experienced in emergency medicine in the following areas:

• Internal Medicine

• Pediatrics

• Surgery

• Orthopedics

• Gynecology

• Obstetrics
