Meir Hospital

Meir Hospital is a public medical institution established in 1956. In its early years, it was a small clinic specializing in tuberculosis treatment. Over time, its scope expanded, and today the hospital includes over 100 departments and specialized centers. Pulmonology remains a key area of focus, with the hospital hosting the only Pulmonology Institute in the country. Other high-demand specialties include:

• Reproductive medicine, infertility treatment, IVF

• Urology

• Orthopedics and traumatology

• Oncology

• General surgery

• Cardiology

Meir Hospital is widely recognized and trusted — it was chosen by the Israeli Olympic team, and over 1.5 million patients visit its emergency department annually. The hospital’s popularity stems from its strong reputation: it consistently ranks at the top for patient safety, prevention of hospital-acquired infections, and post-operative outcomes.

Departments are referred to as institutes, reflecting Meir’s integration of clinical practice with active scientific research. Each year, the hospital conducts over 400 scientific studies.

Like other hospitals that work with international patients, Meir has a Medical Tourism Department. Staff handle translation, airport transfers, and logistical support for foreign patients.
