Health in Israel
Health in Israel is advanced and efficient, compared to other developed counties, where Israel spends a relatively low proportion of their gross domestic product on health, which is 7.3%, compared to 9.3% in the OECD and 18% in the US. With the passing of the 1995 National Healthcare Law, there is mandated universal healthcare, for 100% of the population, funded by a health tax which is a fixed percentage of income. This health care 'basket' includes a list of services mandated by the Ministry of health.
