The Minister was interviewed regarding the system that deals with candidates at the "Israel Hayon" conference "Account of the Soul"


Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said today (Tuesday), as part of the "Mental Account" conference of "Israel Today" and the Israel Medical Association, and said: "I am happy about the conference, it deals with mental health, which is an issue I want the public to address."

The Minister of Health added: "Mental health is the backyard of society, and did not want to engage in it, I am happy to put emphasis on it.

"In the budget we passed, mental health is the highest priority and it was not a simple decision, there is a large budget increase and we are working on calls and suppliers. Unfortunately, the entire health budget is relatively low, standing at 7.5 percent in the country compared to 11 percent in Germany."

Minister Horowitz also told the health commentator of "Israel Today, Ran Reznik:" Finance officials have a national perception that puts health behind and must be changed, the Minister of Finance shares my opinion, there is an old-fashioned capitalist economic view that believes that money for health is burnt money.

The health budget must be as important as the defense budget.

"I am working to get the chronic patients out of the mental hospitals for rehabilitation in the community. The problem is not only in other buildings, there is also a shortage of manpower."

The Minister recently announced that the mental health system will no longer be the "neglected and backyard" of the health system.

He also stressed that the array is important, integral and central, affecting the mental and physical health of us all. 

Later, a panel of experts will be held under the title "Mental Health Services in Israel: From the Backyard to the Front of the Stage." 

Participating in the panel were: Dr. Gilad Bodenheimer, Director of Mental Health at Maccabi Health Services and an expert in child and adolescent psychiatry; Dr. Ilan Tal, psychiatrist, director of the Dr. Tal Center for Emotional and Mental Support;

MK Michal Waldiger, chairman of the Mental Health, Religious Zionism Lobby;

MK Michal Rosin, chairman of the Meretz faction.
