She also showcased Clalit's unique AI system, designed to predict illnesses, identify risks early, and personalize preventive measures.
Mayor Lion expressed strong support for broadening the partnership, and Abuyov invited Clalit to participate in two major upcoming municipal projects. Both leaders emphasized the importance of preventative care and safe living environments, with Abuyov noting the community administrations' role in connecting with local neighborhoods and populations. Clalit's representatives also stressed the need for culturally sensitive healthcare delivery, particularly within the Haredi sector.
