Israel loses 1,370 doctors over three years
Approximately 1,370 Israeli doctors left between 2023 and 2025, according to a study by Tel Aviv University and published in Haaretz. This comes amid concerns over an worsening healthcare workforce crisis due to political and security tensions, especially with the approaching October 2026 elections. The study showed that a significant portion of the departing doctors were over the age of 45 and worked in vital specialties such as surgery, ENT, and otolaryngology, with the highest departure rates recorded in the Tel Aviv area. The crisis is further compounded as about 24% of the practicing physicians are nearing retirement age, which could lead to a sharp shortage in Israel's healthcare sector—particularly amidst ongoing migration from the country, driven by war, rising living costs, and political unrest.
