A delegation of dozens of doctors from the United States arrived at Laniado Hospital in Netanya to learn firsthand about its preparedness for emergency and wartime situations. The visit, which took place yesterday (Monday), was held as part of the activities of the American medical organization APF, with the aim of deepening cooperation with the Israeli healthcare system. During the visit, the delegation members were given a professional overview of the hospital's preparedness, focusing on the experience gained since the October 7 attack and during Operations "With a Lion" and "Lion's Roar." One of the focal points of the visit was the system of protected delivery rooms and neonatal intensive care unit, designed to allow continued care for mothers and premature infants even during alarms. The hospital operates 12 protected delivery rooms and a neonatal unit equipped with advanced monitoring systems. APF, a non-profit organization, promotes cooperation between professionals in North America and the healthcare system in Israel, and since its inception, grants have been awarded to over 1,500 Israeli doctors. Laniado Hospital CEO Nadav Chen welcomed the visit and the continued professional ties with the American organization.
