About Bikur Cholim Hospital...

In times of emergency, every fraction of a
second is critical in the saving of human life.
The residents of the center of town, store own-
ers and business people and customers as well
as tourists and visitors — allure entitled to im-
mediate medical attention in time of need.
Last summer's suicide bombings demon-
strated that when minutes, even seconds count
in saving lives, the only hospital in downtown
Jerusalem must be enlarged to receive the crit-
ically injured. A five million dollar campaign
has been launched to expand and build on 1-1/2
acres a new and enlarged emergency room. Fi-
nancial support from around the world is an-
ticipated.

Bikur Cholim Hospital — Jerusalem

"BIKUR CHOLIM HOSPITAL, one of the oldest medical institutions
in Israel, is today the only medical center in the heart of Jerusalem.
With the natural growth of the city and the continuing rising
security needs, there is an urgent need for the new Emergency
Trauma Center being planned at BIKUR CHOLIM HOSPI-
TAL. I can personally testify to the excellent and humanitar-
ian medical aid given to the wounded during the recent terrorist
attacks."
