We reported here and here about how Santé Israël has been helping French-speakers in Israel deal with the COVID-19 crisis. As the crisis develops, so do Santé Israël’s responses.
In addition to updating the Facebook page often (here’s one of the most recent posts):
Marie, Santé Israël’s Coordinator, answers questions individually from a range of visitors and residents regarding Israel’s health system – where to go, for those who take medication regularly, what types of medications are equivalent to types taken in France, and other questions. Thus far, she’s answered some 40 queries relating to the COVID-19 crisis.
In addition, she has updated the Santé Israël web site, adding a page about the different HMO’s and their policies regarding how to purchase medications without leaving home. Here’s the page that was added. You can also see it via this link:
Medication home delivery according to different HMO’s
In addition, Marie developed a WhatsApp group for French-speaking community professionals – for staff from community centers and welfare offices, local immigrant absorption coordinators, HMO staff, relevant NGO’s such as Magen David Adom and Qualita (the organization for French-speaking Olim), and more. There are currently 25 participants in this WhatsApp group.
Many thanks to the Pharmadom Foundation for their continued support of Santé Israël over the years. Wishing health and safety to all!
