New maternity facilities are created at the hospital in addition to dialysis and physiotherapy services.

The hospital consists of a male and a female ward. Under the new administrator, the hospital is developed to provide specialised departments and existing departments are refurbished. New departments include a labour ward and out-patients department.

The Israeli government agrees to pay for the clinical services provided by the hospital.

The School of Nursing is founded, the vision for which was pioneered by Dr William Bathgate.

New buildings are established to accommodate new services and the increasing patient load.

The first hospital building is completed.

The Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society grants funds the purchase of 25 acres of land on a hill west of the city for the building of a new hospital.
