What does the bill do?

The bill constitutes a standalone law to regulate the practice of paramedics and senior paramedics in Israel. The bill applies the provisions of the Regulation of Practice of Health Professions Law to these medical care professions, with the necessary changes. The bill sets eligibility conditions that include a certificate, practical training and exams, and allows recognition of certificates from Israel and abroad under certain conditions. The bill excludes from the rules paramedics in military service, who are subordinate to the medical officer of the Israel Defense Forces.
