All sides in the wage and recovery program disputes at the Hadassah Medical Organization heaved a sigh of relief on February 19 Wednesday when a temporary agreement reached before dawn made it possible for work to continue in full.
The doctors returned to normal work, following 2 weeks of severely cutting down their workload in protest, after the Jerusalem District Court ruled that they would have enough malpractice insurance to cover them despite the 90-day freeze on Hadassah’s financial obligations.
Next year, the Hadassah Medical Organization will be “better, stable and flourishing,” predicted Avigdor Kaplan, HMO’s director-general for the past 8 months, who has had to cope in recent months with its worst crisis ever. |
