Treatment in Israel

Israel's healthcare system is known worldwide for its advanced technology and comprehensive medical care. Based on a combination of public and private services, the Israeli healthcare system ensures accessibility and affordability for all, regardless of nationality.

At the heart of this system is the National Health Insurance Law, which obliges all residents, citizens and legal foreign workers to have access to a basic package of health care services. This package covers a wide range of medical services, including preventive care, hospitalization, prescription drugs, and basic treatment. This commitment to inclusive healthcare has earned Israel a reputation for having a low infant mortality rate and high life expectancy.

One important aspect of the Israeli healthcare system is the treatment of foreigners. Foreign workers and asylum seekers in the country are entitled to medical care, which reflects the state's commitment to humanitarian principles. The government, together with non-governmental and volunteer organizations, works to provide health care to vulnerable populations, offering basic services and support to those in need.

While the system boasts impressive achievements, it faces challenges. Demand for health care services can sometimes strain resources, leading to waiting lists and disruptions in care. In addition, the cost of medical services is a concern, and some citizens and human rights defenders have called for more comprehensive coverage of certain types of treatment and medicines.
