Sabar Health, the largest home hospitalization system in Israel, offers nationwide home hospitalization for patients with light to moderate Covid-19, fully funded by HMOs with 24/7 medical staff availability.
Cases of mild to moderate Covid-19 generally do not require hospitalization but do need medication, monitoring, and medical supervision. Covid-19 patients currently hospitalized in an inpatient ward may be exposed to additional infections that can lead to significant deterioration, especially when the patient is elderly. These patients may benefit from home rehabilitative services as an all-inclusive and quality alternative to internal medicine department hospitalization.

From this moment, the medical staff take full medical responsibility for the patient and is available 24/7 by telephone, including on Saturdays and festivals. For most, the hospitalization is for a duration of a few days, and at the end of treatment, the medical file is transferred to the HMO, and this also includes the treatment summary and recommendations for the future.
