The head of the private Israeli medical center "Medica Tel Aviv," Anat Nussbaum, has resigned from her post three weeks after the Ministry of Health ordered the clinic's emergency closure due to severe violations. Inspectors had discovered systemic negligence during an unannounced inspection in the Ramat HaHayal area, finding that nurses were performing surgical operations without the necessary qualifications or legal authorization. Additionally, staff without the proper status administered anesthesia in two operating rooms.
The Ministry of Health deemed these violations a direct threat to human life and immediately suspended the clinic's license. In a farewell letter to her staff, Nussbaum thanked her colleagues and announced the handover of duties to her successor. Dr. Eitan Hai-Am, who previously headed the Ministry of Health and major hospitals, has been appointed as the new head. His task is to rectify the noted deficiencies and restore the clinic's legal status.
The medical facility remains closed to patients while the ministry's legal department continues its disciplinary proceedings against the former management.
