You’ll never know when you are in need of medical attention, so better be informed on how you can access medical care. Should you get ill in Israel, worry not, for their hotlines are very much available 24 hours a day.

The following are the numbers you may want to take note of:

The country’s healthcare system is of high quality and has very little variance among locals and foreigners. The public healthcare system in Israel in comparison with private healthcare also does not differ in its quality, however, may have differences in its access to medical facilities and other health-related amenities. If you are an expat, it is highly-advised that you secure medical insurance before you land in Israel.

If you are visiting and staying for more or less a year, it is advisable that you secure insurance to prepare you for any health emergencies during your stay. You may also check with your insurance agent back in your country if your coverage is able to extend in Israel. You may also reach out to international healthcare insurance providers such as Axa Global Health.

Secure your medical plans in advance by contacting MSH International for their health policies specialized for expats. You may reach them at +331 442 04877 or drop them an email on their website at MSH International.

Also, it's generally a good advice and often a much cheaper option to check what insurance packages are available in your own country and what coverage they offer in Israel.
