After a long struggle that stalled the establishment of the second hospital in Be'er Sheva for more than a decade, it seems that the important project for hundreds of thousands of people in the southern region is finally getting underway. The new hospital, which should be opened by 2028, will eventually include about 600 beds and will include the variety of services that will be integrated into the hospitalization and community services in the south of the country.
The ownership of the hospital will be by the health funds, and the operation will be in the middle of the Sheba Hospital, which is considered one of the ten best hospitals in the world. The decision, which requires government approval and will be submitted to it immediately, paves the way for the implementation of the government's decision from 2014, which was decided for the first time to build a new hospital in Be'er Sheva. The work of the staff led to breakthroughs and agreements regarding how to implement the decision in favor of improving the quality of health services for residents and residents of the south. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "This is an important and significant decision for Beer Sheva and the entire southern and Negev region." Health Minister Uriel Bosso: "Today we are taking a big step forward towards the establishment of a new hospital in Be'er Sheva." Shas Chairman Rabbi Aryeh Deri: "Every citizen in Israel, from every geographic region, will receive equal and high-quality medical services" The move will lead to an increase in medical assistance in all fields and will directly affect all Israeli citizens, says Shas Chairman Rabbi Aryeh Deri. The move is part of a number of steps designed to increase investment in infrastructure in the periphery, and there is no doubt that it will increase the population in these areas. The plan will give us the tools to implement the move in the most efficient and correct way, says Health Minister Bosso, and I will work to raise the issue for the government's approval as soon as possible.
