Wake Up Palestine – Equality in Healthcare
A victory for Palestinians in Jerusalem seeking healthcare
Jerusalem24 – Wake Up Palestine – The St. Yves Foundation’s lawyer, Mr. Nasrat Dakour, spoke on Wake Up Palestine with Mohammad Hamayel about the legal achievement of the Foundation in the matter of health insurance for family unification holders.
In a legal battle that began in 2016, the St. Yves Foundation – The Catholic Center for Human Rights had finally succeeded in the discrimination case against Israeli healthcare providers. The Israeli Supreme Court accepted the institution’s appeal and instructed the Ministry of Health to amend the health insurance regulations so that the first payment imposed on Jerusalem ID holders (permanent residency) is equal to the same as holders of Israeli citizenship.
