Dr Weissman will tell us how Rambam was transformed dramatically under his direction in June 2025 in order to continue to deliver state of the art care
Dr Avi Weissman is Deputy Director and a senior anaesthesiologist at Rambam Health Care Campus. He was previously the Director of Anaesthesia of Rambam’s Ambulatory Surgery Centre. Dr. Weissman was appointed Medical Deputy Director of Rambam Health Care Centre 2017, and since 2022 he has served as CEO of Rambam.
Dr Weissman is a Technion medical graduate who specialised in Anaesthesiology at the New York Long Island Jewish Hospital and at UCLA Medical Centre in Los Angeles, California. He has been the Senior Anaesthesiologist at Rambam since 1997. He directed the Post Anaesthesia Care Unit and subsequently anaesthesia in the Ambulatory Surgery Centre; and he established the Acute Pain Service, where many new and innovative protocols and modalities of acute pain care were introduced. He also completed a residency in medical management, receiving a Master’s degree in Health Care Management at Haifa University.
In May 2024 Dr Avi Weissman explained how Rambam Hospital had converted a parking garage into an underground hospital fortified against chemical weapons. This project, which he described as an answer to an untenable situation, was brought to full alert after the 7th October Hamas terror attack. In June 2025 the underground hospital played a major role during the war with Iran.
