Health Minister
Yuli Edelstein expressed his solidarity to healthcare workers as hospitals, clinics and all civilian healthcare structures went
on a strike on Monday to protest the Finance Ministry’s decision to cut funding for the new personnel hired to fight against the pandemic.“On this day my heart is with our doctors,” Edelstein said. “Their demand is highly justified. The Finance Ministry and the entire government are committed not only not to fire medical staff recruited during the corona crisis, but to hire more.”“Especially after the corona year we cannot just function in a ‘use and throw away’ modality. The doctors together with the nurses and all the medical teams have fought 24/7 for the health of the citizens of Israel. Our response should be to increase funding, not to cut it," he added.When the pandemic hit, the healthcare system was already facing a high level of stress. According to the most recent available data dating back to 2018, Israel had only 3.2 doctors per 1,000 citizens. The OECD average was 3.5.The OECD provides internationally recognized standards and gathers data to monitor and create policies and best practices.Some 600 new physicians, many of them new doctors who started their residency, were hired after the corona crisis began. The funding for their position is due to expire on June 30.The number of nurses in Israel also remains well under the OECD average at five per 1,000 people, compared with nine per 1,000 people. There are also some 1,600 nurses whose contracts are not expected to be renewed.
