Profile

Sheba Medical Center (Tel HaShomer) is Israel’s largest medical centre and a major academic, research and referral institution.

It provides comprehensive tertiary and quaternary care across oncology, cardiology, organ transplantation, trauma and intensive care. Sheba hosts multiple specialized institutes (for example cancer, cardiovascular, and rehabilitation institutes), runs extensive clinical trials and precision-medicine programs, and integrates laboratory research with patient care to accelerate translational advances.

The hospital is notable for major transplant programs (solid organ and bone-marrow), advanced cancer therapeutics, and a broad range of surgical subspecialties.

Its patient population includes local, national and international referrals for complex cases; the centre is a regional hub for training specialists and for multi-disciplinary teams that manage rare or high-acuity conditions. Operationally, Sheba emphasizes coordinated care pathways, multidisciplinary tumour boards, and partnerships with academic and industry research groups.
