Neonatal Care Today
The Neonatal Department staff includes 8 senior neonatalogists, 5 pediatricians in-training, and 80 nursing and support personnel. The unit’s guiding principles are to place emphasis on the infant's health and safety, engage parents' maximum involvement, and ensure proper preparation of the family to assume responsibility for the care of their infant. The chairperson and physicians of Soroka’s Neonatal Care Center are also deeply involved in bringing the best neonatal care to developing countries. Since 2002 the team has been involved in a unique program in Ghana in collaboration with the Israel Ministry of External Affairs and the Millennium Cities Initiative aimed at reducing infant mortality while applying innovative concepts of low cost interventions and sustainability.
Donation and Donor Recognition
This urgent and important project will be of major proportions. The new Neonatal Care Center will include an area of 5,500 square meters (more than 59,000 square feet).
The total cost of the new expanded and protected facility will be $20,000,000.
The new Neonatal Care Center can be named by the donor for a gift of $10,000,000, with matching funds provided by Soroka Medical Center.
Naming of components of the neonatal care center will also be possible. These will include the single family treatment rooms, procedure rooms, open bay incubator areas, pharmacy, laboratory, family rooms, and more.
Full and very prominent donor recognition will be provided at the Neonatal Care Center and at the Donors' Wall of Honor of Soroka Medical Center. The facility will be dedicated at a major dignified public dedication ceremony. In addition, the donor will be recognized in all publicity and publications of the Neonatal Care Center.
