Trattamento di Cataract in Hadassah Medical Center

Hadassah Medical Center was founded in 1918 by the eponymous Women’s Zionist Organization of America. There are two campuses in Jerusalem — on Mount Scopus and in the Ein Kerem neighborhood. The center includes 130 departments, over 1,100 beds, 31 operating rooms, and 9 specialized intensive care units.

Advantages

• High treatment effectiveness. More than 80% of patients with early-stage liver cancer are successfully treated. Recovery rates for some rare genetic diseases exceed 95%. About 70% of epilepsy patients are completely seizure-free using modern methods.

• Highly qualified physicians. Among them are Professor Yoav Mintz (innovative surgical technologies), Professor Polina Stepenski (pediatric bone marrow transplantation), Professor Alexander Margulis (removal of giant nevi), and Dr. Josh Schreder (robotic spine surgery).

• Leader in development and application of new drugs and vaccines, including modern immunotherapies for cancer and clinical trials.

• International patient care. Nearly one-third of patients come from abroad. The center’s patients include members of the Israeli elite, including prime ministers.

• Rapid treatment organization. Patients can start treatment within 3 days with Bookimed support.

Advanced methods and technologies

• Alpha Tau and DaRT — innovative radiotherapy techniques targeting cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue.

• CAR-T therapy — treatment of myeloma, AL amyloidosis, and BCMA-positive tumors using modified patient T-cells.

• Ethos radiotherapy system — artificial intelligence adapts radiation to the precise tumor volume, minimizing side effects and reducing session time to 15 minutes.

Departments

• Oncology — chemotherapy, Da Vinci robotic surgery, radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, targeted and hormonal therapy.
