School health services in the Southern District of Israel-between privatization and nationalization.
Isr J Health Policy Res
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Israel's economic policy has favored outsourcing and privatization in public services like healthcare, leading to decreased standards, particularly in school health services (SHS) after it was outsourced in 1997.
- Between 2007 and 2012, SHS quality declined under private contractor management, resulting in a significant drop in vaccination rates, prompting a return to state control in 2012.
- After returning to the Ministry of Health, vaccination rates significantly increased, especially in Bedouin schools, but there was also a notable decline in health education activities, illustrating the trade-offs between privatization and nationalization of public health services.
Purpose: The surgical technique for uterine closure following cesarean section influences the healing of the cesarean scar; however, there is still no consensus on the optimal technique regarding the closure of the endometrium layer. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of closure versus non-closure of the endometrium during cesarean section on the risk to develop uterine scar defect and associated symptoms.
Methods: A randomized prospective study was conducted of women undergoing first elective cesarean section at a single tertiary medical center.
The association between uterine scar defect (niche) and the presence of symptoms.

Research Question: Is there association between the presence of a uterine niche and the presence of symptoms?
Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a single tertiary medical centre. All women who underwent Caesarean section from January 2017 to June 2020 were invited to the gynaecological clinics, and requested to complete a questionnaire regarding symptoms related to the presence of a niche (heavy menstrual bleeding, intermenstrual spotting, pelvic pain, infertility). Transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasonography was performed to assess the uterus and uterine scar characteristics.
Objective: This study aimed to determine BRCA -mutation carrier women's interest and acceptability of participating in a study examining prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (PSDO) as an alternative to the current recommendation for bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for risk reduction.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. All women visiting the high-risk clinics for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in a single tertiary medical center were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the two-stage approach from October 2018 to December 2019.
Study Question: Does the administration of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccine have an association with ovarian reserve as expressed by circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels?
Summary Answer: Ovarian reserve as assessed by serum AMH levels is not altered at 3 months following mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
What Is Known Already: A possible impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination through an interaction between the oocyte and the somatic cells could not be ruled out, however, data are limited.
Study Design, Size, Duration: This is a prospective study conducted at a university affiliated tertiary medical center between February and March 2021.
