Emergency Room Visits in Israel

shutterstock_351130985

It’s inevitable that somewhere, somehow, a teen from one of the many Israeli summer programs, could be in a hospital emergency room this summer.  There are hundreds of teens here and the sad, but true fact is that someone is going to get hurt or sick.  The program director, a counselor, or an ambulance will take the teen to the hospital.

What happens when the teen arrives in the ER?

Emergency rooms in Israeli hospitals follow typical ER protocol.  However, hospitals are even more crowded here. Hospitals in remote locations may offer sub-optimal care.  Patients are treated based on the severity of the illness, and often the wait to be seen can be hours.  If lab tests and/or x-rays are ordered diagnosis can be even slower.

A trip to the ER means a health crisis and a lot of uncertainty.  It can be frightening.  Often the program staff is ill-equipped to handle a health crisis.  EMA Care provides the care needed, filling the gap left opened between the program, the teen, the hospital, and the parents.

EMA Care provides:

    1. A Hebrew/English speaking advocate. A trained medical professional who can help the teen describe symptoms, and translate to English what the hospital staff is saying to the teen.
    2. Medical advocacy- assuring the teen receives the best medical care available. We share our knowledge and our connections to the best specialists in Israel.
    3. Phone contact with the parents- communicating exactly what is happening, what the choices are, and how to best move forward.
    4. Accompaniment throughout the health crisis so the teen never feels alone.

EMA Care is here when you cannot be.  If your teen is hospitalized this summer call EMA Care,  the ONLY assurance health care company in Israel.

EMA Care provides medical concierge, case management, and patient advocacy services to tourists, students and residents of Israel. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.

Recommended by an Infectious Disease Specialist

My experience with Ema Care has been so positive that I wanted to share it in case it could help someone else. Eight days ago my daughter, a Shanah Bet student, called to say she wasn’t feeling well and had symptoms of Covid-19. I was put in touch with an Infectious Disease specialist who recommended Ema Care. I reached Dr. Eliana Aaron easily and signed my daughter up. The next morning, Ema Care gave my daughter a telehealth exam and provided her with prescriptions, as well as a list of
