The national quality indicators report of the Ministry of Health in Israel, published on September 10, 2025, places Hadassah’s two hospitals in Jerusalem – Ein Kerem and Mount Scopus – at the top of the regional and national ranking

The report notes exceptional achievements: Hadassah Ein Kerem receives the highest score in Jerusalem for speed of treatment in stroke cases and ranks first in Israel for preserving patient health after bypass surgery

Hadassah Mount Scopus is ranked first among small hospitals in Israel in preventing repeated visits to the emergency room, a result that reflects comprehensive and thorough treatment which often eliminates the need for further hospital care

Chair of Hadassah’s Board of Directors, Dalia Itzik, emphasizes: “The impressive data are the result of hard work in Hadassah hospitals, where the patient, their health and quality of life stand at the center

Excellence in rapid stroke treatment – critical in Jerusalem and across Israel

Beyond these achievements, the national report of the Ministry of Health in Israel evaluates a series of quantitative indicators that directly reflect the quality of medical care. Hadassah hospitals in Jerusalem stand out in

Average waiting time of only 22 minutes for CT or MRI scans for stroke patients – among the shortest in Israel and vital for saving lives

Full compliance with international standards for dialysis treatmen

High success rates in colonoscopy screenings for detecting polyps

Adequate preventive antibiotic treatment in colon and rectum surgeries

Preventive antibiotic treatment in hip fracture surgeries and joint replacements

Regular risk assessment for acute ischemic stroke among patients with atrial fibrillation

Itzik adds: “This is not only about medical excellence but also about a broader vision that addresses the stages after hospital treatment and the speed of response to urgent, life-saving events. I thank Hadassah’s staff who see daily devotion to quality care as a mission
