34 Sheba Pediatricians Named Forbes Israel 2025 Best Doctors

Sheba’s pediatric expertise contributes to its global standing as a World’s Top 10 Hospital by Newsweek, making it a trusted destination for families worldwide.

Child-Centered Pediatric Care

The Edmond and Lily Safra Children’s Hospital treats over 125,000 children annually across 32 departments with 1,400+ dedicated staff. Sheba pioneered a pain-free care model, minimizing trauma from procedures through preparation, emotional support, and recovery-focused care.

Interactive tools like CT machine models help children understand procedures. Age-appropriate communication builds trust, while family spaces, play areas, psychological support, and complementary therapies address caregivers’ needs too.

Sheba’s unique in-hospital schooling program sets it apart. As Prof. Itai Pessach, Director, states: “Unlike any other hospital, our young patients keep learning while they are healing.” With 100+ trained educators, the program maintains education during treatment, explains procedures in child-friendly language, and supports emotional well-being.

Multidisciplinary Pediatric Leadership

Under Prof. Itai Pessach, the hospital delivers comprehensive care from routine clinics to ICU treatment, including trauma and crisis cases. Sheba’s pediatric specialists cover all major fields:

• Urology: Prof. Yoram Mor provides advanced pediatric urologic care.
• Orthopedics: Dr. Nir Sherr-Lurie treats musculoskeletal disorders, trauma, and deformities.
• Allergy & Immunology: Prof. Raz Somech and Dr. Mona Kidon manage immunodeficiencies, severe allergies, and immune diseases.

This integrated expertise ensures seamless care for complex pediatric conditions.
