Meuhedet Health Services responded Wednesday evening to the Health Ministry's official report, which states its MRI wait times are the shortest among all Israeli health funds. The fund said the data 'speaks for itself' and reflects its commitment to timely care.
Meuhedet Health Services responded Wednesday evening to the Health Ministry's official data showing it has the shortest MRI wait times among Israel's four health funds, saying the data 'speaks for itself.' The statement, issued at 21:41 Jerusalem, came after the report's publication earlier this week and reflects the fund's commitment to timely care.
The Health Ministry report, published on Tuesday (Jul 14, 09:06 Jerusalem), initially revealed that Clalit Health Services had the longest MRI wait times, averaging 64 days. The Zioneer reported that same morning that Meuhedet had the shortest wait times, based on the same data. Criticism of Clalit's nationwide wait issues was also noted, with one critic saying the problems extend beyond Tel Aviv to the north, south, and Judea and Samaria.
The report, based on official Health Ministry data, contrasts with the longer waits at other funds. Meuhedet's response emphasizes that high accessibility enables faster diagnosis and timely treatment, and in some cases may save lives.
