Kaplan Medical Center (KMC), one of Israel's major general hospitals, is a recognized Center of Excellence in major departments including Trauma, ICU, OBGYN and Obstetrics, ENT, Ophthalmology, and Pediatrics.
KMC in Rehovot serves more than one million Israeli citizens (12% of the population). Kaplan is often in the news for life-saving procedures and major advances in medical research.
We're working hard to build a new state-of-the-art Cardiac Center, to be the largest in the Middle East. We are also finishing our new Pediatric Center, The Beit Ida Children's Medical Center.
Please help support these efforts.
