In a sharp op-ed in Yediot Aharonot, Yossi Arablich, chairman of the medical guidance NGO Lema'anchem, says Israel's healthcare system wastes time on overload and neglect, while cancer patients face a race against time where every month can mean the difference between life and death.
Yossi Arablich, chairman of the medical guidance NGO Lema'anchem—which, as The Zioneer has reported, focuses on supporting patients' rights and navigating healthcare systems—published a sharp critique in Yediot Aharonot on Sunday morning. Arablich argues that Israel's oncology system is suffering from chronic overload, manpower shortages, and neglect, while cancer patients urgently need timely access to treatment. 'In the world of cancer, even an additional month may be the difference between the end of the road and the next treatment,' he writes. 'While researchers, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies race to buy cancer patients more time—the Israeli healthcare system wastes that time on overload, manpower shortages, and ongoing neglect.' The article highlights a systemic crisis that has been a recurring subject of public debate in Israel, though Arablich frames it as a matter of life and death requiring immediate attention.
