The unit staff treats surgical and non-surgical diseases, from which you suffer in all ages. The unit has outpatient clinics that practice all fields, and operating rooms. The staff works in cooperation with the various units in the Medical Center.
Personal Treatment
The staff takes care and grants a personal treatment to patients in the clinic, the unit and the outpatients. We know and guide the patients, their family and friends throughout the treatment process, and often treat a few generations of the same family, at different times and at the same time.
This personal relation integrates with our belief that the patient and his family are involved in the details of the disease and the treatment, and therefore it is important to us to devote a long time to talk with our patients.
On top of the ambulatory patients, the clinic advises the admittance units of the hospital, the emergency rooms and the rehabilitation centers that are a part of the hospital community.
Admittance
The process of admittance is conducted by a nurse and doctor, the unit nurse provides the patients with information about the admittance.
During the admittance process, the patients are asked about their regular medications and food sensitivities.
This information is important for the medical staff to maintain the treatment sequence along admittance.
