\n

 <\/span> <\/span>Reduced number of referrals: <\/strong><\/span>Only 798 patients were referred by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in October – almost 400 fewer than the monthly average for 2012 and the lowest monthly total since 2010 when WHO began monitoring monthly totals. The reduction is due in part to a physicians’ strike in Egypt, as well as the MoH recent acquisition of MRI equipment and increased catheterization capacity, and the closure of Jordanian hospitals to new MoH patients as a result of the PA’s accrued debt. In October 2012, MoH financially covered 1 referral patient to Jordan; 9 patients applied for permits to cross Erez and travel to Jordan for health care that was self-funded. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 <\/span> <\/span>Medical reasons: <\/strong><\/span>Most October 2012 referrals were for: oncology (15%), ophthalmology (11%), paediatrics (10%), haematology (8%), heart surgery (7%), nuclear medicine (7%), neurosurgery (5%) and heart catheterization (5%). The estimated cost was NIS 9.6 million. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
