Knesset report on Medical Malpractice

The Ministry of Health has no data on the extent of medical malpractice in the entire health system in Israelincluding the number of deaths due to medical malpractice. This, is due to the different definitions of the term medical malpractice.

As early as 2011, the State Comptroller has commented on the partial information available to the Ministry And called on the Ministry of Health "to collect information from a large number of activities being conducted in courts in the field of Medical malpractice "
