Israel’s Sheba Medical Center says it is moving patients and services underground into protected areas as Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran.
“As of this morning, Sheba Medical Center has switched to advanced preparedness mode in preparation for the strike in Iran,” says Prof. Itai Pessach, Deputy Director General, Sheba Medical Center. “We are in the process of moving all our Department of Services into protected areas.”
“However, all the medical services continue as usual, and we provide the care needed for citizens and people here in Israel,” says Pessach.
