Clalit, Israel’s largest health maintenance organization, announces that it has opened new medical clinics in Tel Aviv to serve the thousands of citizens displaced from their communities near Gaza and from the south in general.

The clinics are located in the Leonardo Beach Hotel and the Dan Panorama Hotel.

The clinics are staffed around the clock by family doctors, pediatricians, nurses, and mental health professionals. Medications for chronic conditions are also being made available to the evacuees.

Dr. Roni Vered, head of Clalit in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, reports that hundreds of the evacuees staying in hotels in the city have already been treated in these clinics.

It is of the utmost importance that we provide these services in this time of emergency,” he says.
