Language

As a result, many residents speak additional languages. At Herzliya Medical Center, this diversity is a great advantage, allowing us to assist you in multiple languages. Many of our medical and administrative staff are native speakers of English, Arabic, and Russian.
Currency
The official currency of Israel is the Shekel (ILS). Payments at our hospital can be made in US dollars or euros via credit card or bank transfer. According to Bank of Israel regulations, cash payments are only permitted for consultations.
Tourism
Israel is a small country, making travel between cities and regions relatively quick and convenient. Our team is happy to assist with travel recommendations, helping you explore Israel safely and comfortably`.
