                                               Thousands of consultation hours are also provided annually to the inpatient
                                               hospital wards requiring gastroenterology expertise.

                                               Soroka is one of the leading and most advanced centers in Israel for
                                               gastroenterology in both the types and scope of the treatments it provides,
                                               surpassing the patient scope of other Israeli medical centers by dozens of
                                               percents. Every year about 500 new cases of colon cancer are discovered at
                                               Soroka, of the total 4,000 discovered throughout Israel annually.

                                               In 2009 more than 14,000 endoscopic procedures were carried out at Soroka, in
                                               addition to attending to more than 12,000 outpatient visits to the clinics.

                                               The gastroenterology staff of 10 physicians consistently seeks and achieves
                                               excellence in their clinical work, scientific investigation, and teaching. The
                                               medical staff is involved in academic research at both the clinical and basic
                                               science levels. Eight registered nurses comprise the nursing staff, most with
                                               advanced academic degrees. The clinical staff is highly motivated and provides
                                               the most advanced professional service and patient care. Medical and nursing
                                               students are assigned to gastroenterology rotations throughout the year. The
                                               Chair of Gastroenterology at Soroka, Prof. Alexander Fich, currently serves as
                                               President of the Israel Gastroenterological Association.

    1,000,000 including 400,000 children - and increased medical needs which have
    grown substantially as well.                                                            4 examination rooms

                                                activity has increased several fold
                                                   and Soroka leads the country             private dressing area for patients

                                       The field of gastroenterology at Soroka has
                            a long tradition of commitment to the highest standards
    of medical treatment and academic achievements, and in order to maintain this
    important tradition significant investment in infrastructure and equipment is
    mandatory.

    The existing number of rooms for physicians, procedures, and labs falls far short
    of that required to serve current and future needs, while providing privacy and
    jealously guarding the dignity of patients.

            The total cost of designing, plans, construction, equipment and furnishings
            for the new Endoscopy Institute will be $2,500,000. Of these stages and
            components, design and initial planning have already been executed and the
            structural framework has already been constructed.

Soroka is one of the leading and most advanced centers in Israel for gastroenterology in both the types and scope of the treatments it provides, surpassing the patient scope of other Israeli medical centers by dozens of percents. Every year about 500 new cases of colon cancer are discovered at Soroka, of the total 4,000 discovered throughout Israel annually. In 2009 more than 14,000 endoscopic procedures were carried out at Soroka, in addition to attending to more than 12,000 outpatient visits to the clinics. The gastroenterology staff of 10 physicians consistently seeks and achieves excellence in their clinical work, scientific investigation, and teaching. The medical staff is involved in academic research at both the clinical and basic science levels. Eight registered nurses comprise the nursing staff, most with advanced academic degrees. The clinical staff is highly motivated and provides the most advanced professional service and patient care. Medical and nursing students are assigned to gastroenterology rotations throughout the year. The Chair of Gastroenterology at Soroka, Prof. Alexander Fich, currently serves as President of the Israel Gastroenterological Association. 1
