Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa announces the launch of a specialized emergency medical operation in Kiryat Shmona to bolster medical services for northern residents facing ongoing security threats.

A team of urgent care experts from the hospital began working this afternoon in the northern border city to ensure high-quality medical coverage during both routine hours and emergency escalations.

The newly deployed medical teams are working with local staff of the existing urgent care center in Kiryat Shmona, providing emergency medicine and round-the-clock access to hospital specialists at the main campus in Haifa.

The urgent care center operates Sunday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m., and from 11 a.m. on Friday through 7 a.m. on Sunday morning. In addition to the staffing increase, the Health Ministry has recently reinforced Magen David Adom evacuation forces in the city to ensure rapid transport for critical patients.
