Hotline Assisting Oncology Patients Exercise Their Medical Rights The hotline service provides information and assistance to patients on a range of topics such as exercising rights protected under the National Health Insurance Act, The healthcare Basket of Services, complementary insurance, hospital services, investigation and guidance on obtaining drug approvals, monetary refunds, and more. This service is provided free of charge for all cancer patients in Israel as part of the ICA’s Information Center. Thank you letters to Jessica Bressler , Information Specialist: I visited the HMO this afternoon to follow up on my status, and their system showed that my medication was approved. Thank you so much for all your help. In gratitude. Words won’t suffice to express our gratitude to you for helping up. We received the financial obligation form we requested. On Thursday, the Ministry of Health checked on us to see how we were doing. All this, thanks to the inquiry you submitted on our behalf. And to your blessed work. When I approached you, I found a sympathetic ear and you gave me the strength not to give up on my rights. It was very hard to revisit the old wounds and you were with me. Thank you a hundred times. Information Materials The ICA produces a variety of printed and digital information materials, which are constantly updated. They can be found in the ‘publications catalog’, which compiles all of ICA’s booklets and publications on the various cancer diseases, treatments, side effects, early detection, reduced risk and more.

The complimentary materials are also available in medical centers, oncology units, clinics, companies and organizations as well as to those who request them directly. The ICA publications editor, Sharon Weisberg , is responsible for the ongoing updates. Below are a few of the information materials produced in 2022:
