All Israeli residents much sign up for one of the four national health insurance policies:
As a subscriber to the national insurance system should you become ill you
will normally receive sickness benefit to the extent of 75% of your salary for
up to ninety days. A grant will be paid for hospitalisation expenses. Hospital
transportation costs will also be covered, and if you need to take time off
work to care for a sick child a special benefit is available.
Patients pay a fixed contribution for medication and appliances, which varies
according to your policy. Note that as a non-resident you will need to be covered
by private medical insurance.
