The Cost of Health: High Medication Payments for Israel's Most Vulnerable

Despite Israel having a public health care system, the cost of medication is at times a deterrent for many low-income and vulnerable populations who may have to choose between prescriptions or other necessities. In this episode, we will dive into the devastating impact that medication payment has on these populations – particularly the elderly and low-income and how Israel's current economic and social crises are exacerbating the issue. Many thanks to Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe for generously funding PHRI's project to provide much-needed medication and equipment for vulnerable individuals and communities in Israel.For more information about PHRI, please visit our website https://www.phr.org.il/en/.
