Maternity Ward and Neonatology

The maternity services in Israel provided by the Lis Center include comprehensive pregnancy monitoring. Women are followed by leading physicians from the start, including genetic testing and high-resolution ultrasound scans in the early weeks. Throughout pregnancy, mothers receive individualized support from experienced gynecologists and obstetricians.

The facility is fully equipped with modern medical technologies and staffed by highly trained professionals. This allows the hospital to care for women with high-risk pregnancies, manage preterm deliveries, and provide neonatal intensive care for babies weighing as little as 500 grams at birth or those born with congenital conditions.

After 40 weeks of gestation, mothers are closely monitored to ensure the health and safety of both mother and baby.

This includes:

• Regular blood pressure checks
• Frequent gynecological assessments
• Cervical maturity evaluation
• Ultrasound monitoring of fetal health and weight
• Fetal heart rate monitoring
• Continuous observation by obstetricians and midwives

These measures help detect any complications that may require immediate medical attention.

Approximately 11,000 babies are born each year in the maternity ward at Lis. The staff includes experienced obstetricians, gynecologists, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and pediatricians. The birth center is among the most popular maternity wards in Israel and welcomes women from across the country and abroad.

The facility features 16 delivery rooms, three maternity departments, two prenatal hospitalization units, surgical suites, and high-risk pregnancy wards. Epidural, spinal-epidural, and regional anesthesia are all available, giving women the option of a natural or assisted birth experience.

The Department of Neonatology at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center provides advanced neonatal care in Israel, including diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support for newborns. The NICU services in Israel at Lis are equipped with state-of-the-art devices for monitoring and visual diagnostics.

Each year, about 10% of all newborns require specialized care. During the hospital stay, each baby is closely monitored by a pediatric neonatologist. Mothers receive daily updates on their baby’s health and condition.

If necessary, babies receive additional evaluations and consultations from multidisciplinary specialists. The hospital offers support for breastfeeding and lactation, and parents receive guidance on newborn care from nurses and pediatric neonatology professionals.
