Pilot Project

Walla's exposure regarding the placement of ten medical nurses in schools across the country has reached the doors of the Supreme Court. A petition was filed on behalf of the Yahal association against the Ministry of Education, claiming that the emerging program endangers children with allergies: "The safety of helpless children is not a field for 'trial and error'."

Walla has learned that the "institutional nurse" model will launch this coming September, with nurses being stationed in ten elementary schools. As part of their role, they will provide medical response to students with special needs, perform first aid, and lead health promotion programs throughout the school.
