Medicine in Israel

The development of medicine in the world is uneven. Some of the country's medical unit clearly outperform their neighbors on the planet. It's not even that some where are born more talented doctors, or medical education better. Very important are the level of technological development, funding new research and development. And the level of development of the health system — too.

Why Israeli medicine has become one of the best in the world

Historically: among the Hebrews a lot of good doctors, brilliant scientists and successful bankers. When many of them live in one small country medicine in this country is doomed to become one of the best.

The history of modern Israel, lying in the midst of the middle East problems had never been calm. The state takes care of those who suffered during the hostilities and terrorist attacks, and much has been developed for the treatment and rehabilitation of wounded soldiers and victims of terrorist attacks.

The government just cares about its citizens. About children and mothers, the elderly and the handicapped, adults and capable citizens. The system is designed so that Israeli doctors can and want to help citizens and foreign nationals. And recently for foreigners and Israelis, the cost of fees for medical services equal, for example treatment of breast cancer in Israel will cost the same to Israeli women and Russian women. Only for the Israeli women part of the costs will cover the so-called "health insurance Fund", a kind of medical insurance.

All the Israeli doctors, regardless of the qualifications and regalia, are obliged to work in public hospitals, at government rates. They can accept or operate in private clinics. But the degree of equipment of public hospitals is still ahead of private institutions.

As a small country, the big public hospitals a little. And each of them is ready to cure and to save any Israelite, and by aseparate quota foreign citizens too.

What are treated in Israel

In short — everything. But there are a few areas of medicine in which Israeli doctors particularly far advanced:

• Obstetrics and gynecology. Attitude towards children and motherhood in Israel special. Children here love, motherhood and large families welcome.

Want to give birth easily — come to Israel.
• Oral and maxillofacial surgery. Israeli doctors perform complex operations, restoring the person literally from pieces. This is the branch of medicine which developed internally — victims of terrorist attacks often receive injuries to the head and face. In the world today has no equal in the Israeli oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
• Cardiology and cardiac surgery. Atrial fibrillation, postinfarction state, heart defects, congenital and acquired — cure everything but death, and even sometimes to cope with it ...
• Angiology and everything to do with blood vessels.

How to arrange treatment in Israel?

You will speak or with the secretary, or the doctor relatively low skills. To understand your business and understand they will not. Their task is to convince you to come.
• If necessary, you will be much more difficult to get on consultation to the doctors in another clinic. Just because hospitals, in which all would work the best specialists at the same time, does not exist. You may have to wait long for the queue to go to another doctor in another clinic, and each day of stay in a foreign country significantly increases your costs.
• You will have to organise your own flights and accommodation.
• If you don't speak the language, you will have to hire a translator. Not all translators possess sufficient knowledge to correctly translate the specific medical terms and concepts. This can significantly hamper communication with your doctor.
• You can become a victim of fraud. The website may not be related to the famous clinic, "doctor, Professor, best specialist" with whom you spoke on Skype, in fact, be just enterprising and unscrupulous man making easy money on the human desire to get better.
