About the Emergency Medicine Center Schneider - The story of a unique department

The story of the MALRAD (emergency medicine department) of the Schneider Children's Medical Center is unique because it is a department that serves as much more than an emergency room in a children's hospital, an independent hospital that is the only one in our region dedicated to the treatment and hospitalization of children and youth from the age of 0-18 in the department, which is actually the first reception place of the Schneider Medical Center Children in Israel.

The MALRAD team consists of about one hundred professionals who receive the children and their companions and provide them with full medical service and treatment on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week and throughout the year without a break.

The main goal of the medical center is to provide the best medical care, with the aim of not hospitalizing the children unnecessarily or transferring them to other departments of the hospital for additional tests.

The impressive result of this approach speaks for itself - out of about 58,000 children who come to the Medical Center every year, about 50,000 of them are discharged home and only about 8,000 children continue to be hospitalized or continue treatment in the ward.
