Description
Mattan Arazi and four co-authors review, in a 2025 paper, the eye care system of Israel as a case study in public health. Israel has promised basic care to all residents since a 1994 law, and eye care sits inside that universal frame. The team judge the system with the World Health Organization's building blocks for health systems.
They find strong points: eye care is well joined to general care, specialists are plentiful, and advanced services are widely on offer. Gaps remain for poorer and outlying communities, who face cost and travel barriers to advanced treatment and steady follow-up. The authors urge stronger local and primary eye services, a fairer spread of staff, and better national data, and draw lessons for other countries.
