Assuta Medical Center (Hebrew: אסותא מרכזים רפואיים) is a private medical center (and company) in the Ramat HaHayal neighborhood in north Tel Aviv, Israel established in 1936.[1] The hospital performs surgery and diagnostic procedures in all fields of medicine, including cardiology, oncology, gynecology and urology.[2]

History

Old Bauhaus building on Jabotinsky Street

The hospital was founded in Tel Aviv in 1936 by

International Style in Israel.[5]

In 2009, Assuta moved to a new building in

Maccabi Health Care Services Group.[7]

Today

The hospital has sixteen operating rooms and is certified for surgical procedures in all specialty areas. Some 17,000 operations are performed every year, including complicated surgical procedures such as open-heart surgery, neurological procedures. The hospital operates a cardiac catheterization laboratory and performs all types of angiography procedures, including diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and stent insertion during angioplasty.[8]

Assuta is one of seven Israeli hospitals that received accreditation from the

Joint Commission International, an organization that sets safety standards for medical care.[9]

Assuta Hospital's

Human Reproduction Update reported that 1,657 IVF procedures per million people per year were performed in Israel, compared with 899 in Iceland, which was second in line.[10] At Assuta's fertility center, a lab houses 25 incubators and 60,000 frozen embryos stored in liquid nitrogen. While the procedure is state-paid at public hospitals, Assuta patients are charged a co-payment of approximately $150.[11]

In 2011, Assuta won the tender for building a new medical center in Ashdod. Assuta operates four hospitals and four outpatient medical centers in Israel.[12] Assuta services in Ashdod will include the operation of an emergency room in a sheltered structure protected from missile attacks, an internal medicine ward, a geriatrics ward, a pediatrics ward, a cardiology center, and oncology institute and a dialysis institute. The wards will have a total of 105 beds with another 100 beds for brief hospitalizations.[13]
