Hospital administrations in Israel strongly criticize the Ministry of Health: the treatment of terrorists is burdened by the public system even a year after the start of the war, without an adequate solution being found for the condition of the workers medical necessary to treat them together. treatment of Israeli patients.
Already at the beginning of the war, shocking comments were heard in the public about the medical treatment given to Hamas terrorists in the hospitals. The medical teams also had a difficult dilemma when they had to treat the enemy during a difficult war that caused unbearably heavy prices. Another shocking issue is that the terrorists were mostly given non-emergency treatment. At the height of the resistance, the activists of the “La Familia” fan group reached the Sheba Hospital, and caused great damage.
The hospitals claim that the hospitalization of a terrorist in a hospital does not depend on the will of the medical establishment, and according to the instructions of the political authorities, the medical teams must treat him. All the hospitals say that the decision rests with the Ministry of Health, and that they have no room to move. At the same time they have to pay the price in public opinion.
“One can understand that it is not possible to prepare for the case in the first six months,” said a senior official at one of the hospitals, “but the war has been going on for almost a year, and still no proper answer has been given. The hospitals, a civilian facility, are made to deal with activists and ‘La Familia’ also With the teams that find it difficult to deal morally with the story, and also with limited investment of resources and personnel.
“It was okay for terrorists to come to the hospitals at the beginning of the war and it’s okay for them to come in urgent cases,” the officer clarifies, “but they cut both.” the care of the hospitals and they will not. back them up, the Ministry of Health does not post guards to protect us, it should be allowed to continue working.”
Dealing with terrorists could be important security, because some of them can provide important information. According to the medical source, “the people who protect them are usually from special units. They told us that if the boys from ‘La Familia’ knew how much information they receive from the terrorists that helps our forces, they would have stopped the demonstrations.”
A terrorist hospital requires a lot of preparation: an isolated room, strict selection of staff, and also “a more effective treatment to finish the hospital as soon as possible. There is also an investment in terms of personnel and security,” the notes medical store. The hospital also creates unrest among the medical teams, and discussions on the subject “create difficult disputes that continue for days after the terrorist has already been released. Our teams are in a difficult dilemma.”
A possible solution, according to him, is to establish medical treatment centers in prison facilities: “Most of the cases that come to the hospitals are surgeries and simple injuries. Right now, even if a terrorist has a broken leg, it will go away. to a public hospital is the solution, but so far it seems no one is going to pick up the gauntlet.”
