SHOHAM Medical Center

From March to May 2020, In the middle of the Covid 19 pandemic, the Israeli Ministry of Health embarked on an emergency program to adapt existing medical facilities to deal with the flux of Covid patients. They chose Rom Engineering to lead a project of converting an intensive care unit into a corona department under severe time constraints. The project consisted of, inter-alia, adaptation and upgrade of various infrastructures (e.g. water, electricity, oxygen, sewage, communication, as well as adding facilities like morgue, resting room for staff, central command center etc. all these under strict isolation requirements and while the medical center continued all its ordinary activities. The project, that involved numerous contractors, was completed in a record time despite the disruptions caused by the lockdown.

Yehuda Avizur Administrative Director

As part of the preparations for the absorption of dozens of Corona patients at the Medical Center for Rehabilitation and Geriatric Rehabilitation – Dorot, we had to retrain on a very short schedule two standard inpatient wards for wards intended for Corona patients. Mr. Zvi Rom conducted the complex work with the help of his team in his own unique way. On the one hand – uncompromising professionalism and on the other – noam walks. During the adopted working days, the two departments sometimes worked more than 120 employees per day. Despite the large scale of the employees and the multitasking, the work was conducted professionally and efficiently under the supervision of Zvi and his dedicated team. Even after the opening of the Corona departments, when minor technical problems were discovered, we received a professional response, even in the event that the management company had to put a professional in full protective clothing into the Corona departments. In short, a pleasant work experience in professional and friendly cooperation, which unfortunately is not widespread in our provinces.
