Dozens of Klalit employees from the Haifa district and the Western Galilee participated in an appreciation meeting held yesterday by the Ministry of Health for the employees and volunteers of the health system in the settlements of the conflict line and in the north.
Ronan Nodelman, director of the Haifa and Western Galilee district in general, who was present at the meeting, said: "Our employees continue to provide continuous and dedicated service to the patients who were evacuated and to the patients who chose to stay in the Western Galilee settlements. This is in addition to medical services for the many soldiers in the region. I am proud of our teams and happy that they are receiving the thanks and appreciation they deserve."
The Minister of Health, Mr. Uriel Bosso, congratulated those present at the moving event and said "The health system has been revealed in the last year at the height of exclusion, workers with dedication and mission, there are no such workers in any system and I am proud to head it."
Eli Cohen, CEO of Klalit, told the participants: "Our people from all the clinics in the region are people who see the good of the patients and the public before their personal good. I meet the workers every week wherever they are, all of them are dealing with the situation that has befallen the country, some of them are in the reserves themselves or their sons The family in the reserves, some of them are evacuated. Their mere arrival and journey every morning to the clinic and often under fire is no less true heroism." The CEO ended with a blessing from the sources, more current than ever, "May the year and its curses end, may the year and its blessings begin."
The Director General of the Ministry of Health, Moshe Bar Simantov, addressed the participants and said: "Your continued function during this period and your continuous presence in the clinics without interruption instills a sense of security for all the people who live here in the country. In these difficult days, you shine a great light that gives hope."
