Treatment in Israel

The healthcare system in Israel is considered to be among the most effective healthcare systems in the world today.

The published results of a survey held by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development – OECD, show that the effectiveness of medical treatment in Israel, as well as the level of medical achievements, are above the average western European level.

The wide network of preventive medicine, rehabilitation and other medical care services, which are provided in very well equipped medical centers, allow providing full-range and effective health care for the country’s population as well as for tourists who travel with the purpose of receiving treatment in Israel. The best indicator of the high quality medical care in Israel is the average life expectancy in this country, which in the year of 2009 amounted to 80 years among male residents and 83 years among female residents.

Israel holds the leading position among the western countries, in the level of survival rate among oncology patients. According to data received from the Israeli Ministry of Healthcare, this number is constantly growing with each year.
