The Women’s Wing at the Galilee Medical Center

An Obstetrics and Gynecology Wing has been inaugurated at the Galilee Medical Center, named after the philanthropist, social entrepreneur and businesswoman Raya Strauss Ben Dror.
The naming of the Wing after her is intended for cherishing the long-standing contribution of Raya Strauss Ben Dror to the second largest hospital in the North.
Since 2008, Raya has been serving as President of the Friends Association of the Galilee Medical Center. Throughout these years, she has donated tens of millions of NIS that enabled, among other things, the establishment of the Hospital’s new Cardiac Institute, Women’s Wing and Research Institute.
In addition, she assisted in the acquisition of world-leading medical equipment and technologies, the recruitment of high-level specialist physicians and the formation of an ambience that encourages the patients’ recovery.

National Projects – the “Magen Haim” (Life Guard) Project

The Project is an initiative of the National Initiatives Philanthropic Corporate Fund, which was founded by the Israeli philanthropists in 2015. The purpose of the Fund’s establishment was to establish projects that would have a national impact. The first project that was chosen by the Fund was an initiative to reduce the level of infections in hospitals – a phenomenon that causes the death of between 4,000 – 6,000 patients annually. Following Raya’s involvement in the Fund’s activities – the Galilee Medical Center was selected to partake in the infection reduction pilot project, together with the Sheba Medical Center. The “Magen Haim” Project took place between 2017 and 2018 and it instigated a significant reduction in the number of acquired infections in both Hospitals. Even after the Project’s termination in 2018, the Hospital continues to further projects that were developed while reducing the contagion with acquired infections.
