As a foreigner living in Tel Aviv, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

"As a foreigner living in Tel Aviv, you may have access to public healthcare if you have a valid residency permit and are registered with one of the four Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) in Israel. Public healthcare in Israel is of high quality and offers a wide range of services, including primary care, specialist consultations, hospitalization, and emergency care. However, you may experience longer waiting times for non-urgent treatments and appointments. It is also recommended to have a supplementary private health insurance to cover services not included in the public healthcare system or to access private healthcare facilities," explained one expat living in Tel Aviv, Israel.
