Following an emergency meeting last night, the Israeli Medical Association announces that any doctors choosing to participate in today’s protests may do so in coordination with their direct supervisors.
Also, any IMA member association or society may lead informational sessions in hospitals and other healthcare settings (in coordination with their administrations) on the effects of the removal of judicial reasonableness on the healthcare system, medicine, physicians and patients.
Staff at public hospitals and clinics plan to go on strike this week in protest of the judicial overhaul
The head of the Israeli Medical Association, Prof. Zion Hagay, said yesterday that the public health union, which represents about 95 percent of physicians in Israel, is prepared to work in “emergency mode” for a few hours this week.
The exact date of the strike has not yet been determined and will depend on the schedule of the legislative process in the Knesset.
