history
The Rambam Hospital was founded in 1938 during the British Mandate on a crescent-shaped headland at the foot of the Carmel Mountains , northwest of the port of Haifa. The architect Erich Mendelsohn took over the planning for the hospital construction .
Initially with 225 beds, it was inaugurated as the British Government Hospital of Haifa by the High Commissioner of Palestine Harold MacMichael .
After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the hospital was named after Rambam.
extension
In October 2010, work began on a protected underground hospital that is said to be able to withstand conventional, chemical and biological attacks. The hospital should then have an autonomous power and oxygen supply, drinking water and medical supplies for up to three days.
Part of the project is also a three-story car park that can be converted into a 2,000-bed hospital at short notice if necessary.
