A critic of Clalit Health Services says the fund's wait-time problems extend well beyond Tel Aviv and the center, affecting the north, south, and Judea and Samaria. The remarks follow a Health Ministry report that found Clalit has the longest MRI wait times in Israel.
A critic is calling renewed attention to wait-time disparities at Clalit Health Services, saying the problem is nationwide and not confined to the Tel Aviv and central districts. The statement — posted via a reported channel — cites the north, south, and Judea and Samaria as also affected.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, a Health Ministry report published Tuesday morning found that Clalit has the longest wait times for MRI scans among all Israeli health funds, at an average of 64 days. Separately, the same report showed significant gaps in surgery wait times between Israel's periphery and the center, according to ministry data.
It remains unclear whether the critic is responding to those specific findings or to broader patient complaints. Clalit has not yet issued a public response.
