Adams, an Israeli who also holds Canadian citizenship and has funded several projects in Israel in previous years, donated $28 million to the hospital, which is why the emergency center is named after him.
At the opening, he said that Israel is already a leader in medicine in the world, that Israeli scientists and doctors are finding important solutions in the field of research, innovation and health care, and that the country can lead the way in emergency care as well.
The center has 100 inpatient beds, and that number can be doubled in emergency cases.
Patients who feel well enough will be able to register and then undergo self-triage, where automated systems will check their temperature, blood pressure, pulse and blood oxygen saturation.
The results are entered into the hospital’s computer system, and center staff will be notified immediately if patients are at high risk.
Mobile robots will help patients find the department they need, and through the app they will be informed about what is happening with their tests, results and treatment.
The hospital’s spokesperson, Avu Šušan, said that the data was carefully checked and that everything indicates that the largest emergency center in the world was opened today.
