Nazareth Hospital Director: Coronavirus Is Opportunity for Arabs to Integrate
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Prof. Fahed Hakim, medical director of Nazareth Hospital, the largest medical facility in the Arab sector, praised the Israel Health Ministry and the IDF on Friday for their assistance in combating the coronavirus. "The three departments that we built here for coronavirus patients were actually funded by the ministry. We're talking about millions of shekels. The IDF also provided us with ventilators and other equipment," he said. "Everyone here, including our facility, understands that this is a time of cooperation, and not a time to widen gaps....For the first time, you see that every citizen in Israel is actually involved in activities against this pandemic....More than 80% of families in the Arab sector have someone working in the health system as nurses, physicians and pharmacists."
