A group of doctors addressed a letter through attorney Shuli Weiss to the Ministry of Health, before taking legal action, demanding that clarification of the facts not delay the issuance of medical licenses to those who are not suspects or unrelated to the matter.
Advocate Shuli Weiss: "During a period of epidemics, when the health care system is collapsing and there is a severe shortage of doctors and medical staff in hospitals, licenses for doctors who have passed the exam are legally and lawfully withheld.
We demand that the steps taken be proportionate, and not disproportionate steps, which in the state of the health system today may cost human lives.
The court has dealt with a similar case in the past, in which the decision of the Ministry of Health was disproportionate, and tests cannot be disqualified in such a sweeping manner. "
As you may recall, about a month ago it was discovered that part of the exam for the certification of returning doctors had been leaked in advance to some of the students.
The Ministry of Health has confirmed the suspicion that one in terms of licensing for medical graduates from abroad has leaked, and has determined that medical students will be re-examined following an exam leak.
The Ministry of Health stated: "In view of serious findings, and due to the suspicion of impairing the purity of the exam and receiving fraudulent results for examinees who approached at this time, a joint discussion was held between representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Scientific Council. .
