The new Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital — the largest of its kind in the world — is part of the Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Israel.
The $100 million underground facility is battle-tested, and equipped to ensure the safety of patients and staff in times of extreme conflict, according to an article on the Jewish News Network website.
Opened in April of 2014, the 1,740-bed underground hospital was designed based on lessons learned from the Second Lebanon War, when 60 rockets fell within a half-mile radius surrounding Rambam.
Its three-level, 1,500-vehicle underground parking lot converts to a 1,740-bed hospital within 72 hours.
