Health Basket

Israel's 2025 health basket hit a record 75.8 billion shekels, yet state reports show drug inventories dropped 23% and emergency medical supplies crashed 68% amid prolonged war strains.

Oncologists have ranked the preferred treatments for the 2027 health basket, including drugs for bladder, stomach, and breast cancer, and a treatment that may eliminate the need for surgery and radiation in rectal cancer. Experts warn: the gap between treatments in public medicine and those available through private insurance is deepening.
