In this crisis, Soroka Needs Your Support

With life and death situations relentlessly presenting themselves, Soroka’s Francis and Nathan Kirsh Emergency Department and Trauma Center is central to the hospital’s emergency response. We need additional medical equipment to assure our ability to continue to respond.

Soroka Medical Center is front and center in providing a medical response to the war. Soroka is a strategic asset for the IDF and closely coordinates with Israel’s military and civilian leadership to meet the developing needs in this crisis. 

Soroka has already treated over 790 patients, approximately 145 of whom are in critical condition and 149 moderately wounded. The hospital has suspended elective procedures and treatments. Soroka’s staff is rendering life-saving care around the clock, in the face of personal loss and fear. Your support is essential to helping Soroka meet this demand and to ensure the acquisition of essential medical equipment.
