Thanks to Dr. Danny Landsberger (Chief Medical Officer, Maccabi) and Mark Joffe (Private Health Insurance) for an interesting and informative evening on 29 January on Navigating the Israeli Medical System.
Our experts covered an array of important topics from where to go for emergency medical treatment to what isn’t covered by your health fund.
Thanks to Telfed volunteer Lisa Starr for this initiative, and to Dr. Les Glassman for recording the event for our community. To watch the recording, click here.
