Reference for WHO statistic

The reference for the WHO statistic (28th best healthcare service in the world) is just a quote in an online magazine. This should be amended to the actual source if possible.Longdehua (talk) 21:38, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

"efficient and effective" are subjective terms.

Why does this point to Helena Kagan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.44.54 (talk) 21:06, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Health care providers

The explination given seems very lopsided towards Clalit, one of four HMOs in Israel. It doesn't explain Clalit very well either, but doesn't even mention the names of the other three. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavers23 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Heathcare for Palestinians?

I wonder if the article should say something about healthcare for Arabic-speaking Israelis and people in the West Bank and Gaza? All these hospitals have Hebrew names, and I'm not sure that any of them are in the occupied territories. I wonder what the situation is there?--Duncan (talk) 08:32, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Clearly healthcare is not universal, since Palestinians are not covered [1] and these make up a large part of population in the area covered. --Duncan (talk) 08:38, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Arabic-speaking Israelis are treated the same as other Israelis. You can check the Hospital in Israel page to see that there are also hospitals in cities populated mostly by arabs (Nazareth for example). With respect to the residents of the West Bank and Gaza, there are hospitals of the Palestinian Authority. 84.228.95.233 (talk) 23:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

It's as universal as you'd expect. The Palestinian population aren't Israeli citizens and aren't covered just as American citizens aren't covered in Israel. The names may be in Hebrew, which is the language spoken by the vast majority of the population, but they all have English and Arabic "names" as well. I feel like you are trying to involve politics or a personal agenda unnecessarily. Israeli Arabs receive every and all health care benefits any other citizen receives be it a French, English, Russian, Amharic or Hebrew speaking citizen. In addition, many Palestinians are treated in Israeli hospitals pro bono, even during times of war [2] and also has (had?) an agreement with the Palestinian Authority [3] where their treatment is covered. Not only are Palestinians treated, but Syrian citizens are also treated in Israeli hospitals [4] payed for from Israeli tax money. Gavers23 (talk) 10:19, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
