October 9, 2023: Soroka Medical Center is front and center in providing a medical response to the war. Soroka is treating hundreds of severely wounded civilians. Soroka’s Francis and Nathan Kirsh Emergency Department and Trauma Center is the command center for the hospital’s emergency response. 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 700 patients, approximately 130 of whom are in critical condition. For now, the hospital has suspended elective procedures and treatments. Soroka's dedicated staff is rendering life-saving care around the clock, displaying unwavering resilience in the face of personal loss and fear. Your support is essential to helping Soroka meet this critical demand and to ensure the acquisition of essential medical equipment.
