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.
Supporting premature and critically ill newborns during transport within the hospital and between medical facilities.
Provides continuous brain monitoring, enabling early detection of neurological complications and timely treatment.
Enables monitoring of ill children to detect deterioration early and support life-saving care.

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.

Neonatal Intensive Care
The Portable Neonatal Transport Ventilator provides life-sustaining respiratory support for premature and critically ill newborns during transport within the hospital and between medical facilities.
Soroka Medical Center delivers care to approximately 17,000 babies every year, the highest number of births in Israel, and is expanding its capacity through a new fortified Neonatal Care Center designed to ensure uninterrupted care during periods of regional instability.
The EVE-NEO transport ventilator is specifically designed for neonatal patients, delivering highly precise respiratory support during transfers between delivery rooms, operating suites, neonatal intensive care units, and other hospitals when specialized treatment is required.
With Soroka's existing fleet of neonatal transport ventilators already operating at full capacity, an additional unit is urgently needed to ensure that critically ill newborns receive continuous, life-saving respiratory care whenever and wherever they must be transported.

🎗️ Your Donation, Their Hope
Your Support Matters
By donating to IMFoC, you are helping equip Israel’s hospitals with advanced medical technology that supports life-saving procedures and safe deliveries.
Every gift brings critical equipment into operating rooms and maternity units, enabling faster decisions, greater precision, and better outcomes.
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.

Pediatric Emergency Department
The IntelliVue MX850 is an advanced patient monitoring system that gives medical teams continuous access to critical patient information, helping them recognize changes in a child’s condition and respond quickly.
In a pediatric emergency department, a child’s condition can change rapidly. Continuous monitoring gives physicians and nurses immediate visibility into vital parameters, helping them identify signs of deterioration and make faster, informed treatment decisions.
The Philips IntelliVue MX850 combines advanced patient monitoring with intelligent alarm capabilities designed to help clinicians recognize subtle but meaningful clinical changes. Its large 22-inch touchscreen provides clear access to monitoring information, while integration with other clinical systems can give care teams access to important patient information directly at the bedside.
Eight new systems will equip all seven treatment stations and the additional admission room in Ziv Medical Center’s Pediatric Emergency Department. Portable monitoring capabilities will also help maintain continuity of monitoring when critically ill children need to be transferred between departments.
Together, these systems will strengthen Ziv’s ability to identify deterioration earlier, respond to emergencies quickly, and provide safer, more advanced care for critically ill and injured children.

Advanced Patient Monitoring Systems
Advanced Neonatal Monitoring
The CFM provides continuous bedside monitoring of a newborn's brain activity, enabling early detection of neurological abnormalities and timely clinical intervention.
The first hours and days of life are critical for newborns with neurological complications. Continuous brain monitoring allows medical teams to identify seizures, oxygen deprivation, and other neurological conditions that may not be visible through clinical observation alone, enabling faster diagnosis and intervention.
As Soroka Medical Center expands its new fortified Neonatal Care Center to serve the growing needs of the Negev region, additional neurological monitoring capacity is essential. A dedicated Cerebral Function Monitor will ensure that newborns requiring urgent neurological assessment can be monitored immediately, without waiting for equipment to become available.
By strengthening the hospital's neurocritical care capabilities, this technology helps clinicians make informed treatment decisions at the bedside, improving outcomes for some of the most vulnerable patients during the earliest stages of life.

Cerebral Function Monitor (CFM)
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.
