Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel is the one and only comprehensive, tertiary care pediatric hospital in the country and in the Middle East, offering the full range of pediatric disciplines under one roof to children from 0-18. The hospital treats every child irrespective of race, religion or nationality, and receives patients from neighboring countries and from as far away as Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. When it was founded 3 decades ago, the hospital broke every barrier and changed the practice of pediatrics and medical culture in the country. Today, it is recognized as one of the leading pediatric institutions in the world.

• We fully believe that the more we can give, the more we will achieve

 

Our Unique Approaches

Schneider Children's is all about children. It utilizes a unique approach to pediatric medicine where children are treated as children and not as small adults. Since they have different emotional and physical resources for healing, Schneider Children’s utilizes a “whole-child-care” multidisciplinary approach, whereby treatment is integrated with emotional, psychological, educational and developmental care. Our multilingual and multidisciplinary teams are comprised of specialists from every arena to ensure that the finest, most all-encompassing care is provided.

​

Medical Excellence

Schneider Children’s continues to lead many firsts in Israel and the world including multi-organ and marathon transplantations, discovery of new genes, advanced artificial pancreas trials, and innovative surgical and therapeutic techniques. Two physicians are recipients of Israel’s highest award: The Israel Prize for Medical Research. This fact underscores the hospital's wisdom of integrating basic research within clinical practice, while international multicenter research collaborations are high among our highest priorities.

 

Academic Excellence

Schneider Children's is a member of Clalit Health Services - the largest HMO in Israel, and the second largest in the world - and its only pediatric center of 14 hospitals. Through its affiliation with the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, every department conducts the teaching and training of doctors, medical students, nurses and paramedical personnel. Over half its physicians serve on the university's medical faculty, while some 15% hold the title of professor.

 

Global Outreach

Schneider Children's has no illusions that in our practice of the finest pediatric care and groundbreaking research, we should do this alone. On the contrary. The medical center actively seeks and encourages partnerships on every level, between individuals, between institutions, and between nations. Schneider Children's is a world-class leader in pediatric innovation, technology, and advanced techniques, and invites new partners to share in its knowledge and accomplishments, so that combined medical skill will be of benefit to every child, everywhere, and anywhere around the globe.

Schneider Children's true success lies in its pioneering spirit, the quality and dedication of its staff, and the devotion of its supporters and volunteers. All these have combined to create a winning combination between medical excellence and a special environment for children. This is the core of the medical center.
