Comment
From the dawn of history, the Jewish people have had a great influence on the development of medical science. Medicine in modern Israel continues this outstanding tradition. Many personalities in the Zionist Movement were themselves doctors who laid the foundation for modern medical practice in Israel. Israel's medical community has successfully met the challenge of problems presented by a heterogenous population. Israel has achieved high standards in medical treatment, development and application of advanced medical technology, and research. Up-to-date methods attract patients from many countries for treatment. In recent years, improvements have been made in preventive medicine, geriatric medicine and health care in the Arab sector.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed by Israeli artist and sculptor, Yitzhak Kohen, and features a depiction of a menorah, symbolizing the importance of medicine in Jewish culture and tradition.
