Medical Profession in Israel

TEL AVIV — Although Israel
has a ratio of more than two
doctors to every 1,000 persons,
it is now inviting young medicos
to enter its service.
Of the more than 2,800 physi-
cians in the country 540 are
women, 20 are non-Jews, 1,350
are on full-time public service
while 350 are employed by the
government on a part-time bas-
is. Thirteen hundred are inde-
pendent and 1,300 are over 50
years of age—the latter two fig-
ures, which represent largely
overlapping categories, pose the
crux of the problem. The older
doctors are seldom suited for
work under the difficult condi-
tions obtaining in new settle-
ments where they -are most
needed. At the same time, many
of them find it difficult to make
a living in the cities. For their
sake the Israel Medical Associa-
tion supports government plans
for compulsory medical insur-
ance, but on condition that the
system of concentrating work at
dispensaries, which do not ac-
cept elderly personnel because
of pension obligations, is not ex-
panded.
As a result of this restric-
USN, Commandant of the Ninth
physicians more than 200 are
new arrival s, and refresher
courses are run especially for
them. Of nearly 300 government
doctors about half are immi-
grants serving in immigrants'
camps and constantly perform-
ing all sorts of lingual acrobat-
ics in their relations with their
clients on one hand and the
Hebrew bureaucracy on the
other.
A still more acute problem
is presented by the severe
shortage of nurses. The gov-
ernment, the army and all
other health institutions have
agreed among themselves to
use an average of two gradu-
ate nurses for each ward dur-
ing a 24-hour period, with no
replacements for holidays and
leaves. At the same time it
has not been possible to grad-
uate enough nurses to main-
tain even this standard. As a
result several hospitals had to
close wards temporarily when
the army recently called up
nearly two hundred nurses to
replace an equal number due
for release but who were en-
titled to some leave before re-
turning to work in civilian in-
stitutions.
tive policy Histadrut medical
, clinics are permanently un-
derstaffed and crowded. The
average load there is at pres-
ent calculated at 700 patients
per physician and up to 10
consultations per hour.
Ask Naval Reservists
For Correct Addresses
Urge Key Witnesses
Testify at Koch Trial-
Naval District called on mid-
western Naval Reservists whose
correct present addresses are
not on file at his headquarters
to advise- him at once of their
current addresses.
There are about 68,000 Naval
Reserve officers and 158,000 en-
listed mew ttnd women now in
inactive duty in the 13 states
of the Ninth Naval District.
The address desired for rec-
ord purposes is not necessarily
the Reservist's permanent home,
but -should show where he now
resides.
Admiral Jones stressed the
fact that those Reservists now
receiving the monthly publica-
tion "The Naval Reservist" or
other routine mail including

the address where they now
reside, need not notify t h e

Information is also required

With the current emptying of
immigrant transit camps by dis-
persal of their inmates in groups
of a few hundred families to
work camps all over the country,
the shortage of village doctors
has become more than ever
acute. As telephones are not
yet available in many rural
areas, and even cars are scarce,
a doctor must sometimes be as-
signed to every village of a few
hundred souls . and accordingly
be paid on a part-time scale in-
sufficient for the support of his
family.
There is also a shortage of
specialists in most fields. The
government and the Histadrut
have difficulty keeping the few
first-class experts available be-
cause in principle they permit
no outside practice, while Ha-
dassah and the Army compro-
mise in this respect. Moreover,
government doctors have only
now arrived at a wage agree-
