The Ministry of Health has ordered the immediate closure of the private Medika Tel Aviv hospital following a surprise inspection that revealed severe findings. The ministry stated that "the continuation of operations at the site constitutes a serious and immediate danger to patients."
The inspection, conducted at the hospital located at 28 HaBarzel Street in Ramat HaChayal, uncovered a series of critical issues concerning the conduct in operating rooms and patient safety. Among the findings were instances where medical procedures were performed outside of professional authorizations and mandatory guidelines, alongside other deficiencies in medical conduct and work processes.
