The pediatric intensive care department at Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital provides professional medical care for children, in a relaxed atmosphere and in a familiar environment that operates in a communal spirit. The ward is adjacent to a children’s emergency room that operates around the clock and is equipped with advanced equipment including resuscitation equipment.
The department was established in 2000 with the aim of providing a comprehensive response to any pediatric medical requirement, and saving the need to transfer the child to remote places particularly when his health conditions is unstable. Being hospitalized in a familiar place and with gentle and supportive surroundings significantly helps the child’s recovery, and research has proved this.
The department’s staff operates a consultation system for a variety of areas: Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Neurology, Pediatric Orthopedics, Pediatric Nephrology, Pediatric Hematology, Pediatric Endocrinology, Pediatric Cardiology and more.
Excellent medicine – and beyond
The Pediatric Intensive Care Department also operates an educational system with the help of qualified teachers, and maintains an orderly and professional school supervised by the Ministry of Education. The staff sits with the children and adapts the material to their age, circumstances and needs. The school offers them educational material, sessions and creative projects.
In light of the fact that while the child is hospitalized (certainly in intensive care) there is a great deal of pressure on the parents, the team uses the hospitalization to observe, thereby identifying the child’s needs or difficulties. These include in development, speech, motor skills, and their emotional needs.
