The new Wohl Surgical Operating Complex includes thirteen ultramodern operating rooms, reflecting the highest standards of medicine and technology. Each serves a specific surgical department-yet all can be easily adapted to treat patients from other departments when patient flow so demands. The rooms constitute a significant expansion both in number (our previous facility included eight rooms) as well as in individual size, offering large and roomy working areas, directly benefitting the surgical teams and the patients' health. Phase one of the project has been completed, with the opening of the first seven of the thirteen new operating theatres.

Appreciating that the future of surgery holds immense potential for dramatic advancements that will change the way doctors and patients relate to the field, the new Complex was designed in expectation of new technologies. Cutting-edge developments, such as robotic surgeries, will place Shaare Zedek at the forefront of surgical practice.
 
The Complex encompasses more than 33,000 square feet (3,065 square meters) spread over two floors of the hospital. In addition to the operating rooms, the facility includes pre-op and recovery areas, family waiting rooms, administrative and doctor’s offices and sterile supply units.  
 

The Wilf Children’s Hospital
 
Since our earliest days, Shaare Zedek has maintained a stellar reputation in serving the medical needs of children in the Jerusalem area. Today, with the construction of Shaare Zedek's Wilf Children’s Hospital, our commitment to this cherished community is taking one major step forward.

As a comprehensive facility, catering to the widest variety of conditions, diseases and injuries, the Wilf Children’s Hospital presents a new, brighter vision for pediatric medicine in Jerusalem. 

Spread out over two floors totaling more than 60,000 square feet (5,575 square meters), the Hospital will include all the pediatric in-patient and out-patient departments that currently treat the tens of thousands of children who come to Shaare Zedek each year.
 
The first phase of the Wilf Children's Hospital to be completed was the new Glaubach Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, which  replaced the existing one. The new ER was designed in line with the high standards that characterize the Weinstock Department of Emergency Medicine so that we can ensure our continued reputation for quality and compassionate critical care, to be offered to adults and children alike, in settings that are both modern and attractive.

Intended to respond to the widest variety of pediatric emergency situations that occur in the Jerusalem area, the new ER includes triage and trauma units as well as more than twenty individual stations for treatment and observation. Spacious and aesthetically-calming waiting areas help children and parents alike to relax from the obvious anxieties associated with hospitalization. A dramatic upgrade from the hospital’s previous pediatric Emergency facilities, both in terms of size and scope, the new Pediatric Emergency Room of the Wilf Children’s Hospital ensures that when the need arises, Shaare Zedek is sure to be their for the children of Jerusalem.
 
Maternity Three and New Delivery Suites in the Wilf Woman and Infant Center
 
In March 2010, our third maternity department, Maternity C opened with 2 new delivery rooms and an enlarged admissions area.
Historically, upon completion in 1999, the Wilf Woman and Infant Center on the Ninth Floor of Shaare Zedek was originally designed to welcome the birth of 750 babies into the world each month. In the years following its opening, as the Center began to gain an increasingly positive reputation for compassionate and personalized care for mother and infant alike, that threshold was quickly surpassed.

Today, each month the number of babies born is much closer to 1,000. In August 2005 even that line was crossed when 1,060 new lives were welcomed at Shaare Zedek. While the hospital has always ensured that every mother and infant receives personalized care in this special time in their lives, we knew that in order to continue to reaffirm that commitment and with an eye towards the continued growth of the Department, it was imperative to develop a new Maternity Unit along with two new delivery suites.
 
These development projects were designed with the same standards of excellence and attention to a woman and baby’s needs that have made Shaare Zedek the leading choice for birthing for Jerusalem area women, involved with more births than all the other area hospitals combined. At Shaare Zedek, we recognize that bringing new life into the world is one of our most cherished responsibilities and through these new developments we will proudly play our role in helping Jerusalem’s growth for many years into the future.
 
 
To make these developments possible, Shaare Zedek is counting on the support of our friends all over the world.

We welcome you to become our partners in helping secure a more health-filled and prosperous future for the people of Jerusalem and Israel.
