Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Medical Information Portability Law (2024) by adding public bodies that are not included in the existing definition of health service providers, such as the IDF, the Ministry of Defense, the National Insurance Institute and other government ministries. The proposal provides that health service providers defined in the law will be required to transfer medical information to these bodies in order to allow patients to obtain rights arising from their health condition (such as disability benefits, nursing care assistance and return to rehabilitation). The proposal also authorizes the Minister of Health (with the consent of the Knesset Health Committee) to amend the list of bodies by order as needed.
