The Health Ministry published a report Tuesday showing that Clalit Health Services has the longest MRI wait times among Israel's health funds, averaging about 64 days. The report highlights a significant gap compared to other funds, where wait times are considerably shorter.
The Health Ministry report on MRI wait times at Clalit Health Services, published Tuesday morning, reveals that Clalit has the longest wait times among Israel's four health funds, at approximately 64 days. The report, which drew on ministry data, found that the gap between Clalit and other funds is substantial, with wait times in other funds significantly shorter. The findings come amid ongoing criticism of Clalit's wait times, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. A previous Health Ministry report on surgery wait times, published last week, also found disparities between the periphery and center. The new MRI data adds to the picture of systemic wait-time challenges in Israel's public healthcare system.
