Health Ministry director general Moshe Bar Siman-Tov announces the formation of six professional teams to assess the actions of Israel’s healthcare system during the war with Hamas, Hebrew media reports.
The teams will analyze key aspects of the health system, including the ministry’s crisis management, logistical operations, emergency preparedness, and protection measures for hospitals and at-risk populations, Walla reports.
Mental health responses and long-term rehabilitation strategies for wounded individuals are also under review.
The findings are expected within three months, and Prof. Arnon Afek, a former director of Sheba’s General Hospital and dean of the new Reichman University Medical School, will manage and coordinate the work.
A new mass casualty evacuation procedure was also put in place early this year. “We want to ensure that next time we will be better prepared,” says Siman-Tov.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
