Description
WHEN THE STATE OF ISRAEL WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1948, a well-organized network of health services was already in existence. This pre-state health system determines, to a large extent, the structure and content of the Israeli health system to this day. Its underlying ideology-- socialist ideals of mutual assistance and collective responsibility-- remains strong, at least as far as health services are concerned. Universal access to medical services continues to be seen in Israel as a basic right. Prior to 1948, health services were provided by three different entities: the British Mandate government, private voluntary organizations, and a number of sick funds. The most prominent of these funds was, and still is, the General Sick Fund (KHC), established by the Federation of Hebrew Workers (Histadrut) in 1921. In 1948, the newly created Ministry of Health (MOH) inherited the functions of the Mandate government and some of the voluntary organizations, thus becoming, contrary to its original purpose, a provider of health services.
