Clalit Health Insurance Fund (Flash 90 / Olivia Fitoussi, Wikipedia)
The upheaval in the largest health organization in the country continues: In two weeks, an inspection report will be formulated at the HMO and accordingly CEO Ruth Ralbag on her final steps, if she resigns after only nine months in office, due to an ongoing dispute with the company R. Board of Directors John Locker.
What started as a rumor has received more and more support, and now in the extensive investigation of Meital Yasur Beit-Or, in “Israel Today”, a particularly bleak picture is obtained of the top management of the huge HMO, under which 14 hospitals and 1,400 clinics operate. Under its responsibility are 4.5 million insured. In March, the chairman of the fund’s workers’ committee, Professor Ben Hamo, threatened a general strike if he was not allowed to meet with the board in order to “tell them things they need to know about who is in charge of the fund.” , And at the committee meeting approved a declaration of a labor dispute.

But the problem, it turns out, did not start in Ralbag’s time. Under the chairman of the board, Yohanan Locker, three CEOs were replaced in less than two years. “It is sad for such a large institution that has no stability,” “Three times a year, this is a problem, and it also affects the employees and the service. It is impossible to lead processes like this.”
In addition to the complaints about Locker’s over-dominant style, there are also those who blame the problem on the workers’ committee and headed by Professor Ben Hamo, known as “Clalit’s acting CEO.” Another source at the fund told Israel Today that ” And not by quality, they understand that the organization is going to a bad place. “

The conduct of the two events at the same time, when the end of the labor dispute between the parties has not yet been announced, caused the CEO to threaten dismissal. Another matter, this time regarding Ralbag itself, is what was published in Calcalist The patients bought counseling services from a counseling company that employs Ralbag family members. Another thing that was used by the committee to clash with.
Professor Ben Hamo responded: “There is no connection between the workers’ committee and the investigation into the matter of Ruth Ralbag. I wish her to come out clean and pure and continue for many more terms. ”
Clalit HMO response: “The HMO operates as a series, including regular working meetings with the CEO. The decision to examine the auditor in the matter of the conflict of interest has not been finalized, and therefore there is still no reference to the matter. The day-to-day operations of Clalit continue as usual. ”
