Herzog Hospital is the third largest hospital in Jerusalem. It is Israel's foremost centre in geriatrics, respiratory illness, mental health and psychotrauma care. Since it was established in 1894, Herzog Hospital has been well known for its exceptional treatment of geriatric and psychiatric patients, as well as for the cutting-edge research it produces. While the existing facility includes 330 beds, it has not been sufficient to meet the growing needs of those who desperately require care. In light of this, the new Samson Medical Pavilion is being built, with construction proceeding at a rapid pace. The new pavilion will add 270 much needed beds and provide six floors of clinical departments as well as an Underground Sheltered Hospital.
