Rambam Health Care Campus

Rambam Health Care Campus is a part of Tertiary Referral Center for Northern Israel, It was founded in 1938.

[6] Work on this fortified emergency underground hospital began in 2010; it was designed to withstand conventional, chemical, and biological attacks.

Made possible through a donation by the late Sammy Ofer,[7] the hospital can generate its own power and store enough oxygen, drinking water and medical supplies for up to three days.

[12] The Bauhaus architect Erich Mendelsohn was commissioned to design the building on a half-moon shaped headland at the foot of Mount Carmel, northwest of Haifa Port.

After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the hospital was renamed Rambam in 1952, the acronym for Rabbi Mosheh Ben Maimon (Maimonides).

The December 23, 1938 edition of the Palestine Post wrote: "High Commissioner opens new government hospital in Haifa: Describes it as 'the finest medical institution in the Middle East.'"

[15] In 2013, Rambam physicians performed the first ablation of the brain in a patient with essential tremor (ET) employing MRI-guided ultrasound instead of surgery.

The large number of patients received from the former Soviet Union has led to the hospital providing a separate Russian-language website for this department.

Since 2007 Rambam Health Care Campus has been undergoing a major development effort in order to better meet the needs of the population it serves.
