    MedicalMedical DirectoryDirectory 20082008 Dear Members, I am pleased to present the annual edition of the Diplomatic Club Medical Directory as a service to the diplomatic corp. The aim of the bulletin is to assist diplomats and their families and staff who often come to Israel without knowledge of Hebrew, and perhaps without foreign health insurance that would cover them adequately in the event of emergencies or health problem. We are greatly indebted to the local doctors and medical centers that have agreed to be listed in the Diplomatic Club Medical Bulletin, and for their agreement to accept the international health insurance scheme outlined. We also thank the Ministry of Health of Israel for appreciating the complex problem of health insurance for diplomatic staff, and for supporting the Medical Bulletin. We too understand the difficulties of living in a foreign country and hope that this service will prove helpful to diplomatic staff and their families. Sincerely Yours Julia Verdel General Manager Important Note * Any entry in the medical directory is a public information service only and is not intended to serve any other purpose. * Entry in the directory is voluntary and neutral and is not an advertisement or a recommendation over any similar facilities not entered. * Information in the directory will be updated and re-published once a year.
