The statement reads: "There is no doubt that the last few weeks have been rife with the state's position on the need to regulate functioning and public hospital budgets have been unbearable, especially in the short memory of the activities of the hospital staff that struggled with the Corona epidemic and could, and were surprised by the short memory of state representatives.

"Professor Rothstein will be back on his guard in the next few days. As he himself has stated: the road is still long and hard and it is not yet time to rest."

Rothstein has worked extensively in recent months in the fight against the Corona virus. As CEO of Hadassah Medical Center, he initiated dedicated corona examinations for Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital employees.
