board of directors is expected to approve tomorrow (Wednesday) the appointment of Dr. Maor Maman, Beilinson Hospital's deputy director, to the position of director of Haemek Hospital.

The exposure in "Israel Today", 20.2.2022,

As we published in "Israel Today", the appointment is expected in the shadow of paralysis, which makes it difficult for the general management to work, due to disagreements over how to manage the chairman of the board, Yohanan Locker, and the fund's CEO Ruth Ralbag

And after Ralbag was presented with a serious report dealing with the fund's contract with a consulting company where her daughter works.

Ralbag's appointment was thwarted 

Maman is considered an appointment that is acceptable to both Ralbag and Locker, and as far as is known is also very much supported by Clalit's strong workers' committee headed by Prosper Ben Hamo.

In the background of recent weeks, Ralbag has sought to bring to the board's approval the appointment of another person to the position, a senior doctor from Soroka, but in light of the tensions in Clalit's management, the appointment was thwarted by Locker.

Ralbag accepted the verdict and joined the approval of Dr. Maor Maman's sex.

Ralbag, 61, took office just nine months ago and was the first CEO to be appointed by board chairman John Locker.

Locker, who previously held the position of chairman of the board of ICL, recognized her there as a director and persuaded her to be appointed VP of finance at Clalit, to the displeasure of the then CEO, and she soon became the director of the organization.

Shortly after Ralbag's appointment, squabbles broke out between the "three musketeers" - the three leaders who influence Clalit's management: Chairman of the Board Locker, Ralbag's CEO, and the so-called acting CEO of the fund and one of its strongest and most influential factors, "The workers' committee, which has held the position for about 25 years, is Prosper Ben Hamo, an X-ray technician at the cash register by profession," said a senior Clalit official.

"Hopefully he can cope"

"Maman is an excellent guy, we hope he can handle the challenge at the Valley Hospital," said a senior Clalit official.

Dr. Maman (45) is the Deputy Director of Beilinson and Head of Internships. He is an expert in gynecology and was elected a member of the board of the Israeli Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The challenge of running Valley Hospital is difficult and huge.

As Ran Reznik revealed in the "Israel Today" hospital last year after the dismissal of Dr. Ziv Rosenbaum by the Clalit management, there was a complete disconnect in the management: "Clalit is like a football team that changes coach every six months.

The players do not know what the owner of the team wants and what the coach wants.

It's like Israeli football that goes nowhere, "said a senior official at Clalit Health Services, describing what has been happening in the past year in one of the largest health organizations.

Ran Reznik added that the directors of the wards at the Valley Hospital are struggling to establish new wards and improve the conditions at the hospital: "Clalit is a large ship that is currently in turmoil and shaking. It will not sink. Projected on the insured. "
