A critical look at Israel’s problematic healthcare system

A critical look at Israel’s problematic healthcare system

This Times of Israel blog post by Professor Naomi Chazan explores the less-than-glamorous side of Israeli healthcare—inequitable accessibility, inadequate resources, low doctor-patient ratios, and widespread underfunding. “Nothing exemplifies Israel’s crisis of governance more painfully than the imminent collapse of this infrastructure.” Chazan is former Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, a political science professor at the Hebrew University, and the co-director of the Center for the Advancement of Women in the Public Sphere at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute.
