Soroka Medical Center needs a new 256-slice CT scanner to improve critical diagnostic capabilities. Soroka's current CT is overextended serving emergency medicine 24/7 and cannot properly serve other areas like cardiology and neurology that require advanced imaging. A new CT would allow faster and more accurate diagnoses to ultimately save lives at Soroka, the largest hospital in southern Israel serving over 1 million people.

The effect of rosuvastatin on incident pneumonia from CMAJ 2012Soroka Medical Center
1) The study analyzed data from the JUPITER trial to examine if statin treatment with rosuvastatin reduces the incidence of pneumonia.
2) Among 17,802 participants followed for 1.9 years on average, pneumonia occurred in 214 participants taking rosuvastatin and 257 taking placebo, showing a modest reduction in pneumonia with rosuvastatin.
3) When analyzing events before cardiovascular problems, rosuvastatin was associated with a 19% reduced risk of pneumonia compared to placebo, supporting the hypothesis that statins may reduce pneumonia incidence.
Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) helps radiologists analyze medical images faster and more accurately. CAD systems scan digital images from tests like mammograms and flag areas that could indicate potential diseases. CAD is especially useful for detecting tumors in mammograms, as it was developed using thousands of abnormal mammogram photos. Studies show CAD increases mammogram sensitivity and decreases false negatives. While CAD costs $50,000, it improves diagnosis and the quality of healthcare.
The Soroka Medical Center in Israel is seeking funds to purchase new breast biopsy equipment. The existing equipment at Soroka is outdated and has stopped working, forcing women in the Negev region to travel far from home for biopsies. New biopsy equipment would allow Soroka to perform over 200 biopsies annually, doubling its previous capacity. This would provide faster and more accurate diagnoses for women in the Negev to complement improved detection from recently acquired digital mammography. The new equipment would cost $200,000.
Kidney stones can cause severe pain and kidney damage if left untreated. Soroka Medical Center performs laser surgery to break up kidney stones, but their 12-year-old laser equipment is outdated and replacement parts are unavailable. New advanced laser equipment for kidney stone surgery costs $135,000 and is urgently needed so patients do not have to travel long distances for treatment. Soroka is a leading hospital in Israel that provides care for over 1 million people annually through emergency services, births, trauma care and community outreach programs.
The document discusses the need for a new Endoscopy Institute at Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheva, Israel. The current gastroenterology facilities are inadequate to meet the needs of the growing population of over 1 million people. A new 500 square meter Endoscopy Institute is proposed to contain 4 examination rooms, 6 procedure rooms, recovery areas, and other facilities. The total cost is estimated at $2.5 million, with $1 million still needed from donations. The donor will have the opportunity to name the new Institute.
The document discusses the need for a comprehensive cancer center in the Negev region of Israel. Some key points:
- There is currently no comprehensive cancer center for the 1 million people living in the Negev, forcing many to travel over 200 miles for treatment.
- Cancer cases in the Negev have increased 300% in the past 20 years but care is scattered without a dedicated center.
- Soroka Medical Center is proposing to build a comprehensive cancer center on its campus to provide centralized care. The new four-floor facility would consolidate resources and double treatment space.
- The center aims to improve cancer outcomes in the Negev through research, specialized clinics, advanced technologies and a focus on patient well
The document proposes establishing the Negev Center for Eating Disorders at Soroka Medical Center to treat the estimated 12,500 children and young adults in the Negev region of Israel suffering from eating disorders. Currently, there are no treatment services for eating disorders in the entire Negev region. The proposed center would provide both inpatient and outpatient care through a multidisciplinary team. It requests $5 million in funding, with a lead gift of $1.5 million allowing for the naming of the center.
Soroka Medical Center needs a new 256-slice CT scanner to improve critical diagnostic capabilities. Soroka's current CT is overextended serving emergency medicine 24/7 as well as other departments. A new CT would allow faster diagnoses for conditions like cardiac issues, strokes, and intestinal tumors, helping to save more lives. Soroka seeks $1.4 million in donations for the new CT and will provide infrastructure and staff to operate it.
The document discusses the Obstetrics and Gynecology Division and Department of Pediatric Surgery at Soroka Medical Center in Israel. The Obstetrics and Gynecology Division handles over 13,500 births annually and treats over 26,000 women. The new Women and Children's Surgery Complex will contain four operating rooms to serve both the Obstetrics and Gynecology Division and the Department of Pediatric Surgery. The Department of Pediatric Surgery performs around 1,700 surgeries annually and specializes in minimally invasive and oncology procedures for infants to 18-year-olds. The new complex will improve efficiency and convenience for patients and staff.
The document discusses plans to construct a new Neonatal Care Center at Soroka Medical Center in Israel. The current neonatal unit is outdated and unprotected from missile attacks. The new center will serve over 1,000 babies born each month in the Negev region. It will have protected facilities to care for premature infants and those requiring intensive or special care. The expansion is needed due to the large birth rate in the area and limitations of the existing space.
Soroka Medical Center in Israel operates under threat of attack and requires additional fortified operating rooms. During a recent war in Gaza, Soroka cared for over 600 wounded using outdated operating rooms not meant for emergency situations. They now plan to build 5 new fortified operating rooms for $7.5 million to allow them to safely treat patients during conflicts or attacks. Donations can be made to name individual operating rooms.
