East Jerusalem - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any particular health concerns? What is the quality of available medical care? What medical conditions typically require medical evacuation?
In East Jerusalem, you can go to a government (Israeli) clinic for minor problems. As a non-Israeli you will have to pay a nominal fee. The care seems OK, but the Israeli health care system isn't really set up for privately-insured patients. If you ask around in the expat community you will find references for doctors who treat private patients. This is how we found our daughter's doctor. If you have a serious illness then there are very high quality hospitals here. - May 2006
