Sheba Medical Center
Tel HaShomer, Israel
Sheba Medical Center, located on the Tel HaShomer campus in Ramat Gan adjacent to Tel Aviv, is Israel's largest hospital with approximately 1,500 beds and a staff of over 11,000. Founded in 1948 and affiliated with the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, it functions as a national tertiary and quaternary referral centre covering the full range of adult and paediatric subspecialties. Sheba has appeared on Newsweek's list of the world's top ten hospitals for several consecutive years, a rare distinction for a public institution in the Middle East. The hospital's Talpiot Medical Leadership Program and its innovation hub — ARC (Advanced Technology and Research Center) — have positioned it as a leading site for clinical trials and translational medicine, with partnerships spanning major academic centres in North America and Europe. Its internationally recognised departments include cardiac surgery, haemato-oncology, bone marrow transplantation, neurology, genetics, and reproductive medicine. A dedicated international patient centre provides English-language coordination, insurance liaison, and concierge medical services for overseas visitors. New immigrants (Olim) admitted under the national Kupat Holim health-fund system receive care through standard Israeli public channels. The hospital's Sheba ARC hosts over 300 active clinical trials at any given time, making it one of the region's most active research environments.
