Health Ministry Director Demands Exemption From Budget Cuts

The Director-General of the Ministry of Health, Moshe Bar Siman Tov, has demanded that the Ministry of Finance exempt the healthcare system from NIS 3.5 billion in planned budget cuts. He warned that the cuts would severely harm public health services, particularly mental health, and are impossible to implement with only two and a half months left in the fiscal year. Bar Siman Tov stated that the health system has already suffered cumulative budget erosion and position cuts since the start of 2026, and that the proposed reductions are based on an outdated budget calculation.
