Features of Treatment in Hadassah
Hadassah is a member of the American Hospital Association. Therefore, in Hadassah, American innovative technologies are used earlier than in other clinics in Israel.
In Hadassah, the work of departments and centers is led by leading specialists - professors and doctors with many years of clinical experience, whose names are known in Israel and abroad. In each of the centers and departments, patients are treated by a whole team of qualified doctors, nurses, and paramedics. All employees regularly confirm their qualifications and master new methods of treatment. Their level corresponds to the high American-Israeli standards of medical care.
Despite the large influx of patients, each of them is treated in Hadassah as a person with their own special needs. A personalized approach is practiced, taking into account the characteristics and personality of the patient, and his social and family problems caused by the disease. Therefore, psychologists additionally work with patients. With children - caregivers and hospital clowns.
Hadassah has been an international medical center since its foundation, accepting patients from different countries near and far abroad. Therefore, the problem of the language barrier has long been successfully solved with the help of translator coordinators. For many years, residents of Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and the Baltic countries have been coming to the center for treatment. In Hadassah, they are treated with special attention and respect.
Infrastructure and Facilities of Hadassah
The Hadassah Clinic is a huge medical city. Up to a million patients address to the center every year. At the same time, 1,200 people are being treated in hospitals.

Hadassah in Ein Kerem is the main campus with 800 stationary beds in 28 buildings, the largest of which is the 19-storey hospital building named after Sarah Davidson, which has no analogs in Israel. Davidson Tower infrastructure includes:
- all surgical departments;
- 20 operating rooms, including hybrid operating rooms;
- all therapeutic departments;
- intensive care and resuscitation departments;
- catheterization laboratories,

Clinic: Hadassah Medical Center
Diagnosis: Large scars on the face
Violetta was bitten by a dog, her face was terribly disfigured. In Russia, plastic surgeons refused to treat such terrible injuries, but in Hadassah, Professor Alexander Margulis took on this difficult case. It’s too early to talk about the final result, but after each visit, the girl’s condition improves more and more.

Accurate diagnosis is the key to the competent construction of tactics for the treatment of various pathologies. A wide range of computer studies, combined with classical diagnostic methods, allows the specialists of Hadassah Hospital to determine possible disorders in the functioning of the body even before the development of the first symptoms.
Through instrumental diagnostics, it is possible to assess a person’s predisposition to a certain type of disease and to identify an allergen, an infectious focus, and other pathological changes.
The main types of high-precision diagnostics at Hadassah Medical Center include:
- positron emission tomography (PET-CT);

- echocardiography;

The medical center for foreign patients has a complex Express-Check UP program, through which diagnostics of the whole organism are carried out.
What are the most popular destinations in Hadassah for international patients?
Every year, about one and a half million people come to the Hadassah clinic, including 90% of foreign patients. The high demand is due to the availability of top-class specialists, advanced equipment, comfort, and excellent treatment rates for even the most neglected and complex cases.
The leading directions for foreign patients in Hadassah Hospital include:
- Hematology and oncohematology. Bone marrow transplantation is one of the advanced methods of treating blood cancer in the clinic, in particular in children. In this case, different variants of the medical procedure are carried out. Both a relative and a matched unrelated donor can act as a donor. In the hematology department, mini-transplantation (NST, LST) and cord blood transplantation are also carried out.

The clinic treats all pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system, in particular, neoplasms and neurodegenerative lesions of the central nervous system, cerebral palsy, consequences of head injury, epilepsy, etc. In case of severe spinal deformities, complications of intervertebral hernia, and osteochondrosis, surgical interventions are performed.

- Radiation therapy. It is carried out with the help of a modern linear accelerator, which ensures high accuracy of the impact on cancer cells.
- Bone marrow transplantation. The clinic carefully selects a donor according to the system of human tissue compatibility. Autologous (the own stem cells, which were prepared in advance, are transplanted to the patient) or allogeneic (BMT from a relative or unrelated donor) transplantation is carried out.
- Cancer immunotherapy. Drugs are injected into the patient’s body that stimulate the patient’s immune system to fight cancer. For this, monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and immunostimulating agents are used.

In just a few days, the patients will be able to receive complete information about the state of their health and learn about the possible risks of developing pathological processes. Today, the Check-Up program is one of the most popular and sought-after diagnostic programs for foreign patients. With its help, it is possible to identify disorders in the body in the early stages, long before the first warning signs appear.
In Hadassah Center, the program of early diagnostic search includes the appointment of a therapist and highly specialized doctors such as cardiologists, urologists, gynecologists, and ophthalmologists.

Ultrasound, CT, PET, MSCT, mammography, X-ray diagnostic methods, ultrasound duplex scanning of blood vessels, as well as electrocardiography are performed. What studies are included in the program depends on its type. It can be a standard Check-Up program or an extended one. It all depends on the patient’s preferences and financial capabilities.
