Medical care in Israel is equivalent in quality to that in the West. For minor illnesses, go to a pharmacy.

Israeli law requires that at least one pharmacy in a neighbourhood be open or on call at all times.

Pharmacists offer medical advice as well as medication; most speak English. In more serious situations, see a doctor.

Almost all Israeli doctors speak nearly fluent English.

Medical care in Israel is generally more available and of higher quality than in the Palestinian territories.
