British Friends of Rambam was established to support the largest hospital in Northern Israel, Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, a 1,100-bed academic hospital serving over 2.5 million residents.

Rambam Healthcare Campus is world-renowned for its vast experience in Oncology, Cardiology, R&D, mental health and treating trauma patients during peacetime and war. As the referral centre for 12 district hospitals and the only Level-1 trauma centre in Northern Israel, Rambam’s patient and staff population is diverse, including Jews, Christians, Muslims and Druze.

Currently prepared for any scenario, Rambam is home to the 2000-bed Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital – a 1,500 space car park in peacetime, which seamlessly converts, within hours, to a fortified hospital protected against missiles and other lethal threats.
