The Trauma Unit ready to receive the injured

Wartime at the hospital Soroka staff members are adept at making rapid preparations for emergency situations in all realms of the hospital's activities at the medical, operational, and logistical levels. Whether in the Situation Room or the Trauma Unit, a large number of reinforced teams were able to address every need, starting frommoving the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and other unprotected departments to missile-proof, protected areas to attending to the many families coming to the hospital, managing responses to the media, and most importantly of all, providing devoted, professional medical treatment to the injured soldiers.

In an expedited operation that took place the night of the start of the escalation, more than 50 newborns, including 23 premature infants, five of them on respirators, were transferred in a matter of a few hours to a protected area in the Saban Maternity Center at Soroka.
