A New Public Health Program for Chareidim
By Y. Schwartz
Deputy Minister Rabbi Uri Maklev and Health Minister Rabbi Moshe Arbel met this past Monday in the office of Health Minister in Yerushalayim in anticipation of launching a national program for the public health of the chareidi sector. The joint enterprise is connected to the eco-social development of the chareidi populace through the Prime Minister's office and the Health department. It will be funded by the two offices. The two rabbis discussed the various aspects of this new program and the methods of implementing it in practice.
The Chareidi Authority regards the area of health as one of the most vital subjects in the social and economic development of this sector and as a quantitative means for maintaining a quality state of life.
Consequently, thanks to the guidance of Rabbi Maklev, the Authority has allocated close to forty million shekel with the help of the Knesset Finance Committee head, Rabbi Moshe Gafni, to promote the health of the chareidi public through this program. The Health Ministry is a inseparable partner to the work of the Authority since its inception and throughout, via its several areas of activity. The dynamic program is adapted to the situation in the area and the departmental cooperation as well as through the results which will be achieved in the process.
