About
The Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, commonly referred to as Ichilov Hospital, is the largest teaching hospital and general hospital serving Tel Aviv and its metropolitan area, and is the second-largest hospital complex in Israel. In 2011, a bombproof emergency facility was opened to protect against conventional, chemical, and biological attacks. In 2022, the world's largest emergency room was opened at Ichilov Hospital. Ichilov’s rehab hospital, called Bishvilam (“for them” in Hebrew), operates according to the latest philosophy in the field, which involves beginning the rehabilitative process as soon as the patient exits surgery. Each patient has a dedicated nurse who coordinates a smooth transition from the acute hospitalization phase to the later stages of inpatient and outpatient rehab.
