On April 4, the directors of all Israeli hospitals were called to a meeting at the Ministry of Health to discuss potential threats from Iran. The meeting, reported by Kan-11 and Keshet-12 TV channels, emphasized the importance of hospital preparedness in light of these threats.
During the meeting, the Ministry of Health emphasized the need for hospitals to have an adequate number of staff working over the upcoming weekend. They also requested that doctors and junior medical staff be on standby to report to work at short notice in the event of an emergency.
In addition, hospitals were asked to conduct exercises to practice their response in the event of a large-scale emergency with multiple casualties. These exercises are crucial in ensuring that hospitals are prepared to effectively manage and treat a high volume of patients in a crisis situation.
