The day will be marked through a special debate in the Knesset, an event at the President's Residence, a discussion in the government, and activities in the army, police, health systems, education, welfare, culture and sports, and legal organizations. The Minister of Health is in charge of implementing the law and may enact regulations, including additional actions in cooperation with civil-society bodies.
