Every Second
Advancing Care
Where It Matters Most
Across Israel, medical teams operate under constant pressure, balancing routine care with the need for rapid response during escalations. Hospitals must be equipped not only for volume, but for complexity, urgency, and resilience.
To address these needs, the Israel Magen Fund of Canada is advancing a targeted medical equipment initiative to enhance surgical precision and safeguard maternal and newborn care. Working in partnership with leading hospitals, including Ziv Medical Center in the North, Soroka Medical Center in the South, and Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in Central Israel, this effort ensures that essential tools are available exactly where and when they are needed most.
Enabling safer, minimally invasive surgeries with precision and speed across multiple specialties.
Protecting mothers and newborns through continuous, life-saving monitoring during labour.
Supporting safe deliveries and emergency interventions when every second matters.

Labor & Delivery Unit
Fetal monitors are essential life-saving devices that continuously track a baby’s heart rate and the mother’s contractions during labor.
This real-time monitoring allows medical teams to detect early signs of distress and make immediate, critical decisions—including urgent surgical intervention when necessary.
At Ziv Medical Center, where approximately 2,500 births take place each year, reliable monitoring is fundamental to ensuring safe deliveries.
These monitors will also support a dedicated cesarean section operating room within the maternity unit, ensuring continuity of monitoring during transitions from labour to surgery, where seconds can make the difference. Due to high usage and rising demand, additional units are required to maintain safe, consistent care.

Fetal Monitors
Operating Rooms (OR)
The Mobile Endoscopic Tower is a critical, high-performance system that enables advanced, minimally invasive surgeries across multiple departments.
Unlike fixed systems, this fully integrated unit can be moved between operating rooms, allowing surgical teams to respond dynamically to urgent needs while maximizing efficiency across the hospital.
It provides real-time, high-definition visualization and precision tools required for complex procedures, supporting specialties including urology, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, gynecology, general surgery, and ENT.
By enabling minimally invasive techniques, this system reduces surgical risks, shortens recovery times, and improves overall patient outcomes.
With growing demand and limited existing capacity, this equipment will ensure immediate access to advanced surgical technology across departments.

Labor & Delivery Unit
Vacuum suction pumps are essential devices used in both obstetric and surgical care to ensure safe and efficient procedures.
In labour and delivery, they assist in guiding babies safely through the birth canal during complex or prolonged labour. In surgical settings, including cesarean sections, they maintain a clear operating field—allowing surgeons to act quickly and safely.
At Ziv Medical Center, where thousands of births occur annually, these devices are used intensively every day.
With the addition of a dedicated cesarean section operating room, additional pumps are required to ensure continuous availability in both routine and emergency scenarios. Without sufficient equipment, delays may occur—placing both mothers and newborns at risk.
