New survey reveals: Israelis express dissatisfaction with the healthcare system
A new survey conducted by Assuta Hospital presents a worrying picture regarding the Israeli public's attitude toward the public healthcare system. The study examined patients' level of satisfaction and their feelings toward the various bodies managing the medical sector in the country.
According to the survey findings, the Ministry of Health was ranked last in the index of compassion and personal treatment. Only 13% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the way the ministry addresses patients' needs, a figure that has sparked significant criticism among the public and experts in the field.
The survey highlights a significant gap between public expectations and the actual service provided. Participants noted that they feel a lack of emotional support and human connection from the government system, which leads to a sense of frustration among patients and their families.
The survey findings are expected to lead to discussions within the healthcare system regarding the need to improve service and make the system more accessible to the public. Now, it remains to be seen how the Ministry of Health will respond to the data and what steps will be taken to restore public trust in the medical system in Israel.
