Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill enshrines in legislation the rules of practice of paramedics and senior paramedics as "medical care professions," mainly by applying the provisions of the law regulating health professions. The bill sets requirements for recognizing completion certificates that are not academic degrees, including from outside Israel, and allows the Director General of the Ministry of Health to recognize educational institutions and grant special permits. In addition, the Physicians Ordinance and the Patient's Rights Law are amended to add paramedics as practitioners authorized to perform defined medical procedures, with an exception for paramedics in the military.
