Does the IDF contribute its best to the epidemiological investigation effort?
A senior official in the Health Cave estimates that the Alon military investigation system operates in a "minor" manner and conducts only about 10 percent of all epidemiological investigations in Israel.
Also, in view of an average of about 4,000 infected per day, only last weekend did the formation begin work on Friday-Saturday, and until last weekend no investigations were carried out on weekends in the army.
"The system works under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, and until two weeks ago they did not ask for nurses to come at all," says a senior health official. "Only last Thursday did they suddenly ask for nurses at the weekend, and indeed nurses were sent to them."
It should be noted that the IDF's decision to request the presence of nurses on the weekends came a few days after an appeal was made to them in the matter by Israel Today.
"They present a picture as if they are conducting 4,500 interrogations a day, but they do only a tenth of the interrogations," the senior added, "presenting everything under the military hat as if they were doing everything."
On the other hand, the IDF claims that the investigation system is a joint array of soldiers and Ministry of Health personnel, and therefore the debate over credit is futile.
According to the Ministry of Health, the 1,000 investigators that the army claims to work within the Home Front Command are in fact mostly investigators from the Ministry of Health - 700 out of a thousand who engage in epidemiological investigations are nurses and employees of the Ministry of Health.
The rest, about 300 in number, are soldiers.
The IDF claims that the view should be holistic and not according to the organization to which the researcher belongs, and that the lineup will soon be joined by about 500 interrogators from the local authorities and another 300 soldiers.
For example, on Monday last week we updated the IDF Spokesman that 3,490 investigations had been conducted and 299 soldiers had been trained, and the day before it had been reported that 6,137 epidemiological investigations were carried out daily. ".
Prof. Hagai Levin, chairman of the Association of Public Health Physicians, referred to the lack of investigations on the weekends and said: "In the investigation of contacts, any delay means further infections.
That is why we must work seven days a week. "
As will be recalled, the "Alon" headquarters for amputating the infection chains was established under the guidance of the Ministry of Health and the political echelon with the intention of reducing the daily rate of infection.
The Epidemiological Investigation Center operates within the headquarters, with the aim of strengthening the Ministry of Health's investigation system.
The center serves about 300 reservists and commanders from the Alon protest center. In addition, training is provided for representatives from the local authorities.
It should be noted that the considerations for determining the date of closure rose argument when exiting the closure still will not be the focus of IDF Mtfkdmtrt interrogation system is shortening the timescales samples Corona, lab work, and epidemiological Investigations and negotiations isolation hospital.
The Health Ministry confirmed the IDF's system did not work on weekends week.
