Health Ministry official: We won’t reach point where we must decide who gets ventilator
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Health Ministry official says there are currently some 4,000 ventilators in Israel.
Dr. Boaz Lev, who heads the ministry’s pandemic unit, tells the Kan public broadcaster that Israel is working to acquire more.
“We won’t get to a situation that [we] need to choose who to administer artificial respiration,” he says.
His comments come amid concerns that there aren’t enough ventilators in the country and that a surge in coronavirus cases could lead medical teams to decide who gets one and who doesn’t.
