Health Minister Yaakov Litzman appoints Prof. Ronni Gamzu, a former director general of the ministry and currently the head of Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, to oversee senior care homes during the coronavirus crisis.

At least two dozen deaths out of 101 reported, have been in assisted living facilities, including 13 at the Mishan care home in Beersheba.

“Professor Ronni Gamzu has years of experience and outstanding operational capabilities and I am sure he will know how to lead management of this population in the best possible fashion,” says Litzman.
