Health system to get NIS 4.6 billion more from national budget to cope with its major problems

The aim of the program to strengthen the public healthcare system in the face of growing privatization, was initiated by Deputy Health Minister Ya’acov Litzman, who served in the same post before the previous government. Litzman has reiterated since again taking office that “deep treatment” is needed to restore balance in the deficit-ridden health system, which is threatened by chronic instability. “Holistic treatment is needed to repair its main distortions,” he said.
