Hospital Operations
Hospitals can resume outpatient and elective activities (planned medical procedures that do not require hospitalization and are non-urgent) while maintaining readiness for mass-casualty events according to protection guidelines.
Hospitals will adjust activity levels so that existing protected areas can accommodate the expected number of people—patients, companions, and staff—as well as the equipment needed during operations.
- Procedures and surgeries under sedation or general anesthesia – will only be performed in properly protected areas.
- Urgent and semi-urgent diagnostic and therapeutic procedures without anesthesia or under local anesthesia – may be performed if there is access to a standard protected area and the ability to reach it within the required defense time.
- Day hospitalization or outpatient activities – include treatments for patients with cancer (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and biological treatments), radiotherapy, injections and infusions, medical abortion, phototherapy, pregnancy follow-up, and pain clinic treatments.
- Invasive procedures – will not be performed in unprotected areas, except for a limited number of procedures such as removal of suspicious skin lesions, certain eye treatments, urological tests, and orthopedic treatments like fracture care and joint injections.
- Imaging – includes X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, Holter monitoring, stress tests, echocardiography, and additional examinations.
- Mapping tests – will be performed near a designated standard protected facility.

IVF Units
- Units with full protection of the operating room, recovery, and laboratory, including cryogenic storage, may continue regular operations depending on staff availability and hospital/unit management decisions.
- Units without full protection may perform the following if a standard protected area is nearby: urgent procedures such as fertility preservation before gonadotoxic treatment for cancer patients, treatment of women with very low ovarian response, treatment of women aged 35 and older, continuation of ongoing treatments for women already in advanced ovarian stimulation stages, and thawed embryo transfer when possible.
IVF units will inform patients of potential changes to treatment due to the security situation.
