Israeli Hospitals
Medical centers and hospitals will be your primary health service options while in Israel. Hospitals in Israel supply the most extensive level of care, including laboratory work, diagnostic tests, consultations, operation, and emergency care. Medical centers offer operations and some specialized care.
English is (unofficially) a second language in Israel so plenty of nurses and physicians are very capable English speakers. The Chaim Sheba Medical Centre in Tel Aviv, as well as the Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem, require their medical staff to understand English. Nazareth’s Nazareth Hospital is probably the best option for expatriates and is referred to as the English Hospital, providing services in Hebrew, English, Arabic, and Russian. Shaare Zedek Medical Centre in Jerusalem also has many many English-speakers on staff.
Sometimes, medical schools are run by hospitals. At these hospitals, surgeons and physicians educate as well as see patients.
Make sure you have quality health insurance before you travel to Israel!
