Executive Summary
The inauguration of the Faculty of Medicine at Bar-Ilan University’s (BIU) Tsfat campus creates significant expectations that the Faculty, and its adjacent future research center, will transform the area. These expectations are reflected in the words of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu: “[The Faculty will give] a great boostto thedevelopment of the Galileeandto the development ofthe academicandmedical establishment in Northern Israel.” The idea of the Faculty dates back to Mr. Shimon Peres’s tenure as Minister for Development of the Negev and the Galilee (MDNG) and was realized under Mr. Silvan Shalom’s leadership.
