Neonatology Department

Congratulations!
Dear mother – you held your baby in the delivery room, maybe even breastfed him/her, and got to know your new offspring. Now the midwife will wrap the baby and escort him/her to the nursery adjacent to the Maternity Ward you chose for your hospitalization.

The NICU at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center treats infants born from week 24 of pregnancy. The complex includes 70 beds (with another 20 at the Bikur Cholim Campus), and state-of-the-art respiratory and monitoring equipment which provides precise data 24/7 on each of the babies in the unit. We also have an advanced MRI scanner for premature babies (the only one of its kind in Israel).
