Israel doctors accused of medical tourism corruption

Senior Israeli doctors are suspected of taking under-the-table payments from medical tourists, according to the Israel Tax Authority.

The accusation came after a report was aired by the Israeli Channel 2 Monday night, showing three senior surgeons at Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital – Prof. Shlomo Constantini, Prof. Zvi Ram and Dr. Yossi Paz – demanding large sums of money from a journalist posing as an agent for medical tourists.

Paz even told the “agent” he would give her a receipt for the payment.
