Ministry lauds new online health rights booklet
02/13/2013 02:29
Senior Health Ministry officials have spent “several years” producing a 132-
page, comprehensive online booklet in Hebrew on residents’ rights in the health
system, according to the ministry, which says the book is “the first of its
kind.”
But The Jerusalem Post has revealed that for the last four years,
nonprofit organization Kol Zchut has been providing a huge amount of information
on many of the same subjects – in Hebrew, Arabic and English – on a regularly
updated free Internet portal that often goes beyond the ministry
material.
Deputy Health Minister Ya’acov Litzman and his director-general
Prof. Ronni Gamzu extolled the ministry’s booklet, which is due to be
published on its website on Wednesday.
