Establishment of a Hospital in the City of Sakhnin (Legislative Amendments) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הקמת בית חולים בעיר סח'נין (תיקוני חקיקה)

TL;DRA proposal to require the state to establish a hospital in an Arab locality, and to amend laws to speed up the approval of land and building plans for this purpose.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds an obligation for the government to establish a hospital in an Arab locality, and amends the Public Health Ordinance (1940), the Israel Land Authority Law (1960) and the Planning and Building Law (1965). The amendments provide for allocating land for this purpose without delay, and setting a period of one month for handling and deciding on a planning request for a hospital in an Arab city. The bill addresses the gap between the needs of the growing population and the existing medical services, especially in cities where there is no government hospital.
