Israel - Sha'are Zedek Hospital Medal, 1973 - SIlver 935, 47g, 45mm

Israel – Sha’are Zedek Hospital Medal, 1973 – SIlver 935, 47g, 45mm

Sha’are Zedek Hospital has been associated with the Jewish community in Israel for over a century. It commenced as a clinic inside the old city of Jerusalem, with the help of Jews from Europe. In 1902 Dr. Moshe Wallach’s Hospital, the forerunner of Sha’are Zedek, was opened outside the city walls. The hospital kept vigil, guarding the people’s health in times of plague, during riots and during intervals of calm. During the War of Independence, throughout the siege of Jerusalem, Sha’are Zedek was often under enemy fire, but its medical work did not stop. During the Six Day War and during the Yom Kippur War, the hospital admitted hundreds of wounded and performed hundreds of operations.

In 1978, a State medal was issued in honor of the opening of the new Sha’are Zedek Medical Center.

Obverse:

A stylized projection of the Medical Center being erected, with panorama of Jerusalem in the background. The inscription on the rim reads: "In the service of Jerusalem". The English translation appears on the lower part of the medal.
