The Israeli Health Ministry released the annual National Program for Quality Indicators report, which aims to evaluate and examine the quality of medicine in the country’s hospitals, also showed that although there was a decrease in the volume of activity in most of the indices it measures in 2020, compliance rates did not largely decline – and in some cases even improved.
Hospitals are ranked on a scale of one to 10, with 10 points being the highest; institutions can achieve fractions of points. All of the country’s general hospitals received scores of more than nine points.
