Development and Expansion
In recent years, the hospital has undergone extensive construction and expansion, aiming to enhance medical services, improve hospitalization conditions, and prepare for continuous population growth.

This development is highlighted by the opening of the 13-story Arison Hospitalization Tower and the Sammy Ofer Heart Building, which includes an underground emergency hospital activated during the "Am KeLavi" period.

Currently, several large-scale, innovative projects are in planning or construction stages, including the Cancer Center (housing the National Proton Therapy Center), the Rehabilitation Tower, and more.

In terms of patient experience, Ichilov offers a comprehensive digital services package for all stages and touchpoints of care.
