Amidst the War in Israel, A Thai worker who speaks no Hebrew or English was recently wounded in a Hezbollah attack in Northern Israel and brought to Rambam - the region’s largest trauma center, for treatment. Avigdor, our resourceful and devoted social worker, didn’t let the language barrier stand in his way and went above and beyond to communicate. Using a translation app, Avigdor asked questions in English, which the app translated into Thai, and the patient’s Thai response was then translated back to English. Language barrier or not, compassion always finds a way! #Rambam #hospital #healthcare #Israelunderattack

War-related Stress Linked to Cerebral Hemorrhage A new study led by Rambam Health Care Campus, in collaboration with four other major medical centers, reports an alarming rise in cerebral hemorrhage cases since October 7. The recent study, directed by Dr. Estelle Seyman, Head of Neurology B - Stroke at Rambam, with Professor Ronen Leker, Chair of the Israeli Stroke Society and Director of the Stroke Unit at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem, and Dr. Naim Samaan, Director of the Stroke Unit at Ziv Medical Center in Safed, documented a 20% increase in cerebral hemorrhage incidence. Researchers attribute this surge to war-related psychological stress and behavioral changes, rather than the typical causes, such as medication non-compliance or disrupted follow-up care among evacuees. Dr. Seyman said: “Our hypothesis is rooted in observed behavioral changes among patients in the early months of the war, We witnessed an influx of cerebral hemorrhage cases, with many patients reporting that disturbing war-related videos profoundly impacted them. Family members even urged them to stop watching this type of content.” The study found that cerebral hemorrhages increased not only among those directly affected by the war but across the general Israeli population. “War-related stress is commonly linked to psychiatric conditions, anxiety, PTSD, and depression,” Leker explains. “Our findings suggest that elevated stress levels may have heightened cerebral hemorrhage risk among vulnerable groups.” He emphasized that raising public awareness about the health risks associated with prolonged exposure to distressing content could mitigate life-threatening complications. Researchers compared the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage in 348 individuals. One group included patients hospitalized during the first three months of the war, while the control group consisted of patients from the same period in the previous year. The most notable increase occurred in the first month after October 7, with 56 cases recorded compared to 40—a 17% rise. The study also revealed higher rates of complications, intensive care admissions, and epilepsy resulting from cerebral injuries within the study group. The findings will be presented at the Israel Stroke Society conference in November. #October7 #stroke #research #healthcare #Neurology

Rambam Welcomes NICU Babies from Carmel Medical Center in Coordinated Transfer Effort In a meticulously planned operation, we successfully received neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) babies from Carmel Medical Center, following yesterday’s relocation of 650 Rambam patients to the Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital. Following diligent protocols, dedicated medical teams from Carmel Medical Center, Magen David Adom in Israel , and Rambam collaborated in the transfer this morning. Traveling with a police escort for additional safety, these little patients were transported from Carmel in a specially equipped MDA bus. Their destination: the Ruth Rappaport Children’s Hospital at Rambam, home to the region’s fortified neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The first three floors of the children’s hospital are fully fortified, enabling the highest standards of care while eliminating the need for underground relocation for its youngest and most vulnerable patients. The health and safety of these little fighters remains the top priority as they receive the specialized medical attention they require. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the incredible doctors, nurses, and support staff who are working tirelessly to make this transfer a success. Their dedication and commitment serve as an inspiring reminder of the importance of teamwork in healthcare.

With increasing danger in northern Israel due to missile threats from Hezbollah, safety has become paramount, closing schools and disrupting daily life. In response, Rambam Health Care Campus has stepped up to support our essential medical staff: Safe Daycare for Our Community. The underground daycare for 450 children, ages 3-12, within our Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital in Haifa was opened yesterday. This initiative ensures that our dedicated medical professionals can continue their vital work without the added worry of their children's safety. Developed through collaboration with the Haifa Municipality and Bezalel Academy of Art and Design , with generous backing from the Frieze Family Foundation in Boston, this daycare transforms 10 rooms into a safe haven - complete with play areas, bunk beds, craft tables, and more. expertly designed by Bezalel’s volunteers, Lior Ramon and Sharon Ader. By providing this secure environment, Rambam is committed to supporting our doctors, nurses, and staff, allowing them to focus on delivering critical healthcare services to our community during these challenging times. We thank all partners who made this initiative possible, reinforcing our commitment to community strength and resilience.

Two days ago, almost 700 patients were transferred to Rambam's Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital. Rambam's aboveground fortified and protected areas allow some patients to remain hospitalized without the need for transfer. In addition, Rambam has 24 fortified, surgical suites, enabling full surgical services to continue during wartime. Most of Rambam's elective and outpatient services have been suspended. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our staff, this enormous undertaking was completed within several hours and the -3 level is fully operational and occupied. Patients from two other regional hospitals will soon arrive to the -2 floor of underground facility. One hospital's NICU already transferred it's patients to Rambam's fortified NICU . In addition, due to the complexity of administering ongoing dialysis treatments, Rambam has been providing patients from the regions dialysis clinics which treatment in the underground hospital. Rambam's role in safeguarding the health of Northern Israel’s residents cannot be underscored. #rambam #healthcareheroes #supportisrael
