Professional Society- Hear from Professor Eilon Shany from Soroka Medical Center

Come and listen to Dr. Shany speak about his work at Soroka Medical Center

On Saturday, October 7, as war erupted, Soroka Medical Center confronted challenges of an unparalleled magnitude—challenges no other hospital in Israel has ever been called upon to face. The overwhelming number of casualties, the severity of their injuries, and the rate at which they arrived at our emergency department all stretched our treatment capacity to the limit. On the first day of the war, we treated over 670 casualties, more than 130 of them seriously or critically injured. So far, they have treated almost 4,000 casualties and received hostages – we also had a nurse who came back from captivity.

Prof. Eilon Shany is the director of the neonatal center at Soroka.
