Rehovot's Kaplan Hospital Employees at Strike

In a solidarity move with striking employees in Eilat’s Yosef-Tal Hospital, Clalit HMO employees will be implementing sanctions in the fourteen affiliate hospitals around the country.

As a result, the nursing staff in the hospitals will operate on a Sabbath limited schedule, canceling all clinics and non-emergency treatments. Support staff, maintenance and other personnel will also take part in the sanctions while physicians will work on a regular schedule.

The strike will include the following hospitals: Beilinson (Petach Tikvah), Schneider (Petach Tikvah), HaSharon (Tel Aviv), Beit Levinstein, HaEmek (Afula area), Carmel, Meir (Kfar Saba), Kaplan (Rehovot), Herzlfeld Geriatric Hospital, Rebecca Ziv (Tzfat) and Talbiah Psychiatric Hospital.
