The public hospitals did not accept the interim solution offered to them today (Thursday) by the Ministry of Finance, and said that they would continue the strike and work in the emergency format tomorrow - and "without a time limit until the full agreement is fulfilled."
This, after following a directive of Minister Avigdor Lieberman, they were transferred an advance of more than NIS 100 million immediately, as an interim compromise.
Hospital administrators sharply attacked the Ministry of Finance, saying that "the ministry's salami method is aimed at starving the hospitals."
"The cooperation of the Ministry of Health management with the drip and starvation method - shameful and disgraceful to the health system at the height of the corona crisis," the principals continued.
"The heads of the Ministry of Finance and Health want to strangle us and not allow us to develop and plan for next year. Without a defined and clear budget it is impossible to purchase equipment, recruit doctors and nurses, or run a hospital."

Prof. Fahed Hakim, director general of the English Hospital in Nazareth, said in response: "There is no solution.
The Treasury is not meeting its obligations.
The strike will continue until there is a real solution. "
Prof. Ofer Marin, CEO of Shaare Zedek, also said of the money transferred that" this is a very partial advance that will not allow us to go through the holidays or next month. "
He added and called for "respecting the agreement in full so that we can return to work in full."
