Israel's first new public hospital in 40 years, Assuta Ashdod provides high quality medical care to the people of Ashdod and surrounding areas. Located just 16 miles (25 km) from the Gaza Strip, Assuta Ashdod is the first fully rocket-proof Israeli hospital, built with a unique bomb shelter design to withstand missile attacks and chemical warfare. Assuta Ashdod is saving lives by providing wounded soldiers and citizens with immediate access to emergency and urgent-care treatment and equipment. Assuta Ashdod features 70,000-square-meter (750,000-square-foot) facility, with 400 doctors and 550 nurses who have joined our hospital, motivated by the feel of an Israeli startup, where innovation, creativity, and excellence are embraced.
