Kaplan Medical Center, located in central Israel, is spearheaded by CEO Prof. Tarif Bader and Deputy Director Dr. Alex Tiktinsky, both of whom bring extensive military experience to their leadership roles. The hospital, which serves over one million residents, is currently expanding its facilities to enhance its protective infrastructure and patient care capabilities amid ongoing regional conflicts. Following the October 7 attacks by Hamas, which resulted in over one hundred casualties being treated at Kaplan, the hospital's leadership faced unprecedented challenges in managing uncertainty and ensuring effective emergency responses. Bader and Tiktinsky have implemented systematic protocols to prepare for emergencies, including mass-casualty drills and operational updates, ensuring that staff are equipped to transition from routine to emergency operations seamlessly. The hospital has also established an ethics committee to prioritize patient care during wartime, focusing on the ethical implications of triage decisions. Plans for the future include upgrading operating rooms for enhanced protection and establishing new facilities for pediatric care and rehabilitation, aimed at solidifying Kaplan's role as a center of excellence in the region. The hospital's ongoing development is crucial for maintaining high-quality care and resilience in the face of conflict.
