Schaller Medical Centre, Arad

During the night and over the weekend, when the doors of the city’s regular medical clinics are closed, the people of Arad and the surrounding areas had been left with no proper medical service for many years. Emergency cases occurring outside of ‘office hours’ had to be taken to the Soroka Medical Centre in Beer Sheva – a journey of 45 minutes along roads of varying quality. With the assistance of JNF UK and other organisations, the Schaller Medical Centre was built.

The Centre is one of the most important projects undertaken in Arad in recent years. It opened to the public in September 2004. Its design, in terms of medical requirements, was conceived by leading Israeli medical and architectural authorities in these fields. They in turn consulted with international specialists in the field of emergency medicine. The Centre consists of a spacious lobby, children’s play area, emergency rooms, trauma room, orthopaedic casualty rooms, a gynaecology clinic and an ultra-sound and x-ray department.

JNF UK has committed over £600,000 to the Schaller Medical Centre, greatly contributing to the quality of life of Arad’s population and its environs.
