In depth

The Health Ministry approved a partial return to operations for the Medica Tel Aviv Medical Center. According to Arutz Sheva, the closure order imposed at the end of September was issued after the surprise inspection found medical procedures performed in violation of professional authorities. According to Ynet, the surprise inspection found that nurses performed surgical procedures without authority.

According to Israel Hayom, the center will be permitted to perform only basket surgeries, while cosmetic surgeries remain prohibited. According to Ynet, the hospital's CEO resigned, and a former Health Ministry director-general was appointed in her place. At Medica they welcomed the decision and said they are working to resume the rest of the activity.
