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' levels of satisfaction and their feelings toward the various bodies that manage the medical field in Israel.
One of the most prominent and concerning figures to emerge from the survey relates to the Ministry of Health. According to the results, the ministry ranked last in the 'compassion' index, with only 13% of respondents stating that they feel humane and understanding treatment from the government system.
The survey raises important questions regarding the quality of service and the relationship between medical institutions and the general public. The findings point to a significant gap between patients' expectations and the experience they actually receive in public hospitals and clinics.
Following the publication of the data, public debate is growing regarding the need to improve medical service in Israel. Experts in the field argue that beyond professional medical care, there is great importance in personal treatment and the patient's sense of belonging within the system, an issue that now requires special attention from decision-makers.
