In November 2023, following the October 7 attacks, Schneider Children's provided care to 19 children released from captivity, along with six mothers and two grandmothers. Faced with an unprecedented challenge and no clinical roadmap, a multidisciplinary team of physicians and mental health professionals developed an entirely new treatment protocol for child hostages returning from prolonged captivity. This video documents those first moments of return and the beginning of recovery.
Children are 25% of the population—and receive just 1.6% of health-tech investment. Schneider Children's is changing that.
Filmed in October 2023, this video shows how Schneider Children's rapidly relocated patients to fortified floors during missile attacks—transforming protected neonatal units into fully functioning emergency, intensive care, and surgical spaces while maintaining uninterrupted care with the support of staff and volunteers.
