The ‘Ziv’ Medical Center is located in the city of Safed, “the capital of the Upper Galilee”, a pastoral and green area with a rich and fascinating history. The center was established in 1910, by Edmond Jamed de Rothschild and from then until today, it provides medical services to the residents of the north during routine and also during emergencies.
The main goal of the medical center is to promote medical services for the residents of the Galilee and the Golan heights by providing professional, fast, efficient and courteous medical treatment by a professional and experienced team, with the use of advanced technologies.
The Ziv Medical Center also serves as an academic institution associated with the Faculty of Medicine of Bar-Ilan University, in Safed. There is a close relationship between the faculty and the medical center, which is reflected in the integration of the center’s doctors into the teaching staff of the faculty and in the guidance of the students in the inpatient wards of the medical center. The connection between the institutions significantly strengthened the field of research, and today the research department at the medical center conducts more than 160 clinical studies and collaborates with the Faculty of Medicine and the Galilee Research Authority.
