The Israeli Healthcare System
Israel’s healthcare system operates under a National Health Insurance model, managed by non-profit Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), AKA “Kupot Holim”. These organizations are regulated by the government and offer comprehensive health services to Israeli residents. The system is funded through government subsidies and income-based premiums.
All international students and researchers must obtain a health insurance policy for the duration of their stay In Israel – before they arrive.
