Israel loses nearly 1,400 doctors
Israel has experienced a sharp increase in the migration of doctors in recent years, with approximately 1,369 physicians leaving between 2023 and 2025—an increase of 94% compared to the previous decade. The phenomenon is particularly concentrated among experienced doctors over the age of 45, who accounted for about 20% of those departing. Some of them were department heads and senior physicians at the peak of their careers, which threatens the quality of healthcare services and weakens the capacity to train new doctors. Migration has affected various medical specialties as well, resulting in significant losses to the health reserve, and it is expected that the number of doctors able to provide care will continue to decline. This raises concerns about the future deterioration of the healthcare sector.
