Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz thanked outgoing Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, who resigned this evening (Sunday).

"I would like to thank Prof. Hezi Levy, who volunteered to serve as the ministry's director general during one of the most challenging periods known to the Israeli health system. Hezi has served the State of Israel with great professionalism, and I am confident he will continue to contribute his skills to the public health system," Horowitz said.
