Medicine in the Israel

The Israeli Medical Association (IMA) is the professional association representing about 95 percent of the physicians in Israel. The Association traces its origins to the “Hebrew Medicinal Society for Jaffa and the Jaffa District”, founded in 1912, which later became the “Hebrew Medical Association in the Land of Israel”. Today the IMA represents physicians in all fields and regions throughout the country and at all stages in their medical careers, from students completing their studies and interns, to specialists and private practice doctors, to retired physicians. The IMA acts independently and on a nonpartisan basis to advance doctors and public medicine in Israel.
