Thousands of doctors, nurses, and other medical staff are expected to protest outside the Health Ministry in Jerusalem on Sunday afternoon.
The protest is a result of a lack of funding to seven public hospitals across Israel. The hospitals have been working on "emergency mode" for the past several days, only accepting patients in need of life-saving treatment.
The hospitals – Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Hadassah-University Medical Center, Netanya’s Laniado Medical Center, Ma’aynei Hayeshua Medical Center in Bnei Brak, and three hospitals in Nazareth – have said they will continue to operate in this way until there is a full and signed agreement that meets all their demands.
