A US-based trust has awarded an $18 million grant to Haifa’s Rambam Hospital and the University of Haifa for the construction of a new medical research tower.

It “will be a hub to foster novel ideas for the transformation of health care at the local, national, and global levels.”

Rambam Health Care Campus director Professor Rafi Beyar says “The Health Discovery Tower, with its unique combination of medicine, technology, and humanitarian values, will be the cornerstone of our vision moving forward, enabling us to help not only the people of Israel but to impart critical knowledge across the globe.”
