Good to Know
Start with the Family Doctor
Specialists and many tests wait on a referral and often a Form 17 from the kupah.
מד"א Is 101
Magen David Adom is the ambulance; the police number is different.
טיפת חלב Is for Babies
It is the well-baby clinic, not a dairy shop, and it handles vaccines.
Bring the Magnetic Card
The kupah card opens the desk computer; a passport alone slows the clerk.
