Alon said that HMO’s in Israel provide a comprehensive package of medical services, including primary care, medicines, and hospitalization. Leumit itself offers 300 clinics around the country, and each clinic provides a personal family doctor, nurses, labs, and access to a pharmacy inside or outside the clinic. Alon noted that Leumit is completely digital now and provides patients with the ability to make appointments via its app, receive prescriptions, and even consult with doctors by video chat. New olim to Israel, he explained, can immediately enroll in the HMO of their choice upon arriving at the airport. “Israel’s health care system,” said Alon, “is the best in terms of justice, equality, and mutual assistance.”
