At the meeting, the Minister of Finance instructed his office staff to act immediately so that the hospitals can realize the payment of salaries and current expenses for the remaining months until the end of the year.
In addition, Minister Katz, together with officials from the Ministry of Health, instructed to promote an outline for the "Cap Law" for 2021 onwards, which will provide an orderly response to the health system.
"Following the broad assistance I have provided to the health care system, I initiated another meeting today with the directors of the public hospitals to ensure the implementation of the decisions I have made and in addition to hear about the challenges they now face," Katz said.
"I pledged that there would be no vacant doctor who would not receive a standard to work and so it will be. I strengthen the hands of the health professionals who are at the forefront of the struggle in Corona, and will continue to work to strengthen the health system as much as they can meet the various challenges."
Health Minister Edelstein said: "We work day and night to treat the corona virus and prepare the health system for exit from quarantine and readiness for the winter. I thank the Minister of Finance for his assistance in budgeting the system and the hospitals."
Hadassah Hospital said: "All the directors of the public hospitals thank the Minister of Finance. The meeting with the Minister of Health was significant and gave hope to the public hospitals - 7 in number, that their cash flow is guaranteed by the end of the year. The Ministry of Finance and Health immediately prepared next year. "To allow the public hospitals laden with corona disease to prepare for their all-important missions at this time. Scheduling a follow-up hearing in two weeks ensures control over the results of the ministry's work in meeting the goals set by the finance minister with the consent of the health minister."
"Maybe there is an end to the inhuman tunnel in which the front of the war in the plague is," said Hadassah CEO Prof. Zeev Rothstein.
