IL-USDocAID is an initiative designed to aid the Israeli healthcare system by connecting and bringing physicians from the United States to Israel. This initiative was established to provide assistance to the Israeli health system, which is facing challenges due to a significant increase in casualties and a shortage of doctors, exacerbated by the deployment of medical professionals to the IDF reserve during the ongoing war.
The Hospitals
We receive requests from hospitals and, in coordination with the Ministry of Health, we identify a suitable doctor from our pool and facilitate the connection.
The Doctors
We've assembled a pool of hundreds of highly specialized doctors from the United States, each excelling in various medical fields. These top-tier physicians proactively joined our collective endeavor.
Match
We collaborate with organizations that aid in bringing doctors to Israel and subsequently link them with hospitals.
ABOUT
IL-USDocAid is an initiative that started on October 7th, 2023, in response to the
outbreak of the war in Israel. Our mission is to support the Israeli health system,
which faces increased pressure due to a spike in casualties and the reassignment of
medical personnel to the IDF reserves amid ongoing hostilities. We are committed
to arranging and overseeing the mobilization of U.S. medical volunteers, ensuring
they reach the Israeli medical facilities that are most in need of support.
Our initiative is in cooperation with the Israeli Ministry of Health and in partnership with the Israel Economic Mission to the USA - East Coast reflecting our commitment to enhancing the healthcare capabilities in Israel during challenging times.
