Bituach Leumi
Bituach Leumi (The National Insurance Institute of Israel) is the body responsible for the payment of various pensions and allowances to those who are insured and eligible under the National Insurance Law. All Israeli residents aged 18 or older must, under law, be covered with Bituach Leumi and are therefore obligated to pay insurance contributions.

The basic basket of services offered by the Ministry of Health offers coverage for a multiple of services, medications, and hospitalizations, but all within a basic range of services.
