Changes in the management of the "Medica" hospital chain following serious deficiencies
Published
The CEO of the "Medica" hospital chain, Anat Nussbaum, announced her resignation this week. The move comes against the backdrop of a complex period the chain is undergoing, which includes legal proceedings and closure orders for some of its facilities.
The decision regarding Nussbaum's departure was made after the Ministry of Health found serious deficiencies in the conduct of the chain's hospitals. Following these findings, the chain was forced to deal with harsh public criticism and demands from the authorities for immediate correction of the failures to ensure the safety of the patients.
As part of the attempts to stabilize the system and restore public trust, Dr. Eitan Hai-Am has been appointed to a key position in the chain. Dr. Hai-Am, who previously served as the Director-General of the Ministry of Health, is considered an experienced figure in the world of medicine and public management, and is expected to lead the necessary changes in the medical institutions.
"Medica" management stated that it is working in full cooperation with the Ministry of Health to address all the deficiencies raised in the reports. The chain's main goal now is to meet the required safety and quality standards so that it can continue to provide medical services to its patients in a safe and proper manner.
